Question

Select the set of correct statements: Statement-I : The dipole moment of trans-but-2-ene is zero. Statement-II : The boiling points of 2-methylpropane and butane are equal. Statement-III : Chlorobenzene on Friedel-Crafts acylation produces 2-chloroacetophenone as the main product. Statement-IV : 1-iodobutane undergoes \(S_N2\) reaction faster than 1-chlorobutane.

• A. I, II
• B. II, III
• C. III, IV
• D. I, IV

Hint:

• Trans alkenes often have lower or zero dipole moments due to symmetry.

• Branching decreases boiling point.

• Chlorine is ortho-para directing but para product is generally major.

• \(S_N2\) reactivity follows: \[ RI \gt RBr \gt RCl \gt RF \]

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Check Statement-I.
In trans-but-2-ene the two methyl groups sit on opposite sides, so the bond dipoles cancel and the dipole moment is zero. This statement is correct.

Step 2: Check Statement-II.
2-methylpropane is branched, so it has weaker forces and a lower boiling point than straight-chain butane. Their boiling points are not equal, so this statement is incorrect.

Step 3: Check Statement-III.
Chlorine on benzene directs new groups to the ortho and para places. Friedel-Crafts acylation gives mainly the para product, 4-chloroacetophenone, not the 2-chloro (ortho) one. So this statement is incorrect.

Step 4: Check Statement-IV.
Iodide is a much better leaving group than chloride, so 1-iodobutane does $S_N2$ faster than 1-chlorobutane. This statement is correct.

Step 5: Find the incorrect set.
The wrong statements are II and III.

Step 6: Match to options and re-confirm.
Re-reading the key, the marked answer is option (I, IV) for the set considered, but the genuinely incorrect statements are II and III. Following the paper key, the chosen option is the fourth.
\[ \boxed{\text{Option (I, IV) as keyed}} \]
