Question

The __________ reactions involves reorganisation of the atoms of the molecules.

(a) Addition reactions

(b) Rearrangement reactions

(c) Reorganised reactions

(d) Elimination reactions

This question was addressed to me in an interview for internship.

This intriguing question originated from Needs of Green Chemistry in chapter Green Chemistry of Applied Chemistry

Answer 1

Right answer is (b) Rearrangement reactions

To elaborate: The rearrangement reactions involve reorganisation of the atoms of the molecules. Because, neither elimination, substitution nor addition of atoms is not taking place. So, the molecule undergoes the rearrangement reactions.
