Submit
21. Which compound is commonly known as ethanenitrile or acetonitrile?

Explanation

The correct answer is ethanenitrileacetonitrile, also known as acetonitrile or ethanenitrile. Methanenitrile, propanenitrile, and butanenitrile are incorrect as they refer to different compounds.

Submit
22. How are ketenes named?

Explanation

Ketenes are named as alkene-substituted ketones because they contain a carbonyl group bonded to two carbon atoms. This naming convention reflects their chemical structure and functional groups present.

Submit
23. Which of the following compounds are considered as Acyl and Acyl-like compounds in this chapter?
