Arrange the C–H bonds marked as x, y, and z in the given compound in decreasing order of their bond dissociation energy (BDE) for homolytic cleavage:
| 1. | y > x > z | 2. | z > x > y |
| 3. | z > y > z | 4. | y > z > x |
| 1. | \( \text{HC} \equiv \text{C}^- \) | 2. | \(\text{H}_2\text{C} = \text{CH}^- \) |
| 3. | \(\text{CH}_3- \text{CH}_2^- \) | 4. | \(\text{NH}_2^-\) |
| a. | In crystallization, an impure compound is dissolved in a solvent in which it is highly soluble at room temperature. |
| b. | In the positive resonance effect(+R), the transfer of electrons is always from an atom or substituted group attached to the conjugated system. |
| c. | One of the technological applications of fractional distillation is to separate different fractions of crude oil in the petroleum industry. |
