Reaction Intermediates
Test-1
This page contains MCQ Questions of latest CSIR NET, GATE and other competitive exams on the topic of Reaction Intermediates in Organic Chemistry. Reaction intermediates such as Carbocation, Carbanion, Carbene, Radical, ketene, nitrene etc. are the species which are formed in between the reactions. Their relative stabilities dictate how the reaction will further proceed. This is a really important chapter in organic chemistry for competitive exams perspective. Try these 20 MCQ Questions given on this page to check your knowledge of this chapter. These are the questions which have been asked in exams of recent three to four years. You can also attempt these questions as quizzes by clicking on the below link.
