In the following structures, which one is having staggered conformation with maximum dihedral angle?

Given below are two statements.
Statement I : The chlorides of Be and Al have Cl-bridged structure. Both are soluble in organic solvents and act as Lewis bases.
Statement II : Hydroxides of Be and Al dissolve in excess alkali to give beryllate and aluminate ions.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

In the alkane \( H_3C-CH_2-C(CH_3)_2-CH_2-CH(CH_3)_2\) , identify 1°,2°,3° carbon atoms and give the number of H atoms bonded to each one of these.

What effect does branching of an alkane chain has on its boiling point?

Addition of HBr to propene yields 2-bromopropane, while in the presence of benzoyl peroxide, the same reaction yields 1-bromopropane. Explain and give mechanism.
