34. Option (i) 3-Ethyl-4, 4-dimethylheptane is correct since in IUPAC naming the different alkyl groups present are written in alphabetical order. Di, tri, tetra are not included in the alphabetical order. So, “e” of the ethyl group comes before the “m” of the dimethyl group. The number 3 is given to the ethyl group and is written first.

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

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.
