Question

Azane is IUPAC name of :

• A. Sulfuric acid
• B. Carbon dioxide
• C. Quick lime
• D. Ammonia

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Ammonia

The correct option is (D):

Explanation for the correct answer:

Azane:

1. These are basically the acyclic, saturated hydrocarbons.
2. They consist of only Hydrogen and Nitrogen atoms and all the bonds present here are single bonds.
3. It has the general formula as: ${\mathrm{N}}_{\mathrm{n}}{\mathrm{H}}_{\mathrm{n}+2}$.
4. So in Ammonia (${\mathrm{NH}}_3$), there is a presence of one Nitrogen atom and 3 Hydrogen atoms attached with the single bond.

Explanation for the incorrect answers:

Option (A):

Sulfuric acid:

1. In Sulfuric acid, as there is the presence of Hydrogen , Sulfur and Oxygen.
2. So, this is not an Azane.
3. Hence, this is an incorrect option.

Option (B):

Carbon dioxide:

1. In Carbon dioxide, as there is the presence of Carbon and 2 Oxygen.
2. So, this is not an Azane.
3. Hence, this is an incorrect option.

Option (C):

Quick lime:

1. In Quick lime, as there is the presence of Calcium and Oxygen.
2. So, this is not an Azane.
3. Hence, this is an incorrect option.

Hence, the correct option is (D): Ammonia.
