Question
Open chain hydrocarbons and closed chain hydrocarbons.
✓
Answer
- A hydrocarbon in which the chain of carbon atoms is not cyclic is called an open chain hydrocarbon.
- All aliphatic hydrocarbons contain open chains.
Closed chain hydrocarbons:
- A hydrocarbon in which the chain of carbon atoms is present in a cyclic form or ring form is called a closed chain hydrocarbon.
- All aromatic hydrocarbons contain closed chains.

P, Q, R and S are four major types of phytohormones. P is a phytohormone which functions mainly as a growth inhibitor. It promotes the wilting and falling of leaves. Q, R and S are phytohormones which all promote growth of plants in various ways. Q is responsible for the phenomenon of phototropism in plants. R is involved mainly in shoot extensions. The phytohormone S helps in breaking the dormancy of seeds and buds. What are P, Q, R and S? Give one reason each for your choice.
