Name the compound?

Hexa-1,3-dien-5-yne.Reason: When a molecule has both a double and triple bond the carbon chain is numbered to give the lowest possible numbers. Meaning double and triple bonds have equal priority. However if the positions of the double and triple bond are symmetrically positioned in the longest continues carbon-carbon chain then the double bond has the lower number.

According to the nomenclatures set by the International Union for Pure and Applied Chemistry(IUPAC), the priority order of functional groups as well as the saturated/unsaturated compounds are as follows:
Carboxylic acids
Derivatives of carboxylic acids(esters, acid chlorides and amides, in order)
Cyanides
Aldehydes
Ketones
Alcohols
Amines
Double bonds
Triple bonds
Single bonds

Double bond is suffixed functional group whereas NO2 is _______________functional group therefore double bond gets preference over –NO2 group

resonance

There are two types of resonance or _____________ effect designated as R or M effect.

mesomeric

Aniline shows +R/-R (R=Resonance) effect?

+R

Nitrobenzene shows +R/-R (R=Resonance) effect?

-R

Halogen shows +R/-R (R=Resonance) effect?

+R . Reason:Halogen shows positive resonance effect as they have a tendency to donate electrons to double bond or conjugated systems (alternate double bond system).Benzene has a conjugated system hence halogen donates its electron in the ring acquiring a positive charge.

Does halogen Show +M effect?

Halo group activates benzene ring by mesomeric effect and destabilizes it by inductive effect. This statement is correct as halogens have lone pairs of electrons which they can donate to the ring and increase the electron density of the ring this is +M effect or mesomeric effect.

– COOH shows +R/-R (R=Resonance) effect?

-R.The oxygen atom in the -COOH group is highly electronegative. Thus, this atom pulls electrons of sigma bond towards itself attributing to electron withdrawing nature of the group.

Which of the following has +R (resonance) effect?
A) −CN
B) −CHO
C) −NH 2
D) −NO 2

orrect option is C) The electron withdrawing or releasing effect of a substituent through delocalization of π electrons, is known as resonance effect. In −NH 2 ​ , N has a lone pair of electron and it can transfer this pair to conjugated π bond. Since the electron pair is transferred away from −NH 2 ​ , it has +R effect.

+R effect: – halogen, –OH, –OR, –OCOR, –NH2, –NHR, –NR2, –NHCOR,
– R effect: – COOH, –CHO, >C=O, – CN, –NO2
