    31. The structure-I of propenal is found to be more stable because structure having more covalent bonds in a resonating structure is found to have more stability, in structure II, the terminal carbon has only six electrons which makes it less stable.

i.e.,   Both A and R are correct, and R is the correct explanation of A is the answer since in paper chromatography, a special quality of paper known as chromatography paper is used. Chromatography paper contains water molecules trapped in it which acts as the stationary phase. A strip of chromatography paper spotted at the base with the solution of the mixture is suspended in a suitable solvent or a mixture of solvents which acts as the mobile phase. The solvent rises up the paper by capillary action and flows over the spot. The paper selectively

63. Option (iv) i.e., A is not correct, but R is correct is the answer since hybridization of C can be found out by counting σ bonds and π bonds present on C atom. This can be shown as-

If C has 3σ bonds then it is sp2 hybridized. If C has 2σ bonds then it is sp hybridized.

62. Option (i) i.e.,  

Both A and R are correct, and R is the correct explanation of A is the answer as when two or more compounds differ in the position of substituent atom or functional group on the carbon skeleton, they are known as position isomers and this phenomenon is termed as position isomerism. Pent-2-ene and pent-l-ene are position isomers because they differ in the position of the double bond.

61. Option (iv)

i.e.,   A is not correct, but R is correct is the answer. This is because canonical structures always have more energy than the resonance hybrid. Resonance hybrids are always found to be more stable than any of the canonical structures since the delocalization of electrons lowers the orbitals energy and gives stability.
