The correct Answer is:
To determine which statements are wrong, we need to analyze each statement provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Evaluate Statement 1**: "Acetic acid is a systematic name of vinegar." - **Analysis**: Acetic acid is the common name for the compound CH₃COOH, while vinegar is a diluted solution of acetic acid. The systematic (IUPAC) name for acetic acid is ethanoic acid. Therefore, this statement is incorrect. - **Conclusion**: Statement 1 is wrong. 2. **Evaluate Statement 2**: "MeC double bond O, OH is an unsaturated compound." - **Analysis**: The structure mentioned (MeC=O, OH) indicates the presence of a double bond (C=O) along with an OH group. Compounds with double bonds (C=C or C=O) are considered unsaturated. Thus, this statement is correct. - **Conclusion**: Statement 2 is correct. 3. **Evaluate Statement 3**: "Prefixes like N, iso, sect, tertiary, neo, etc., are used in..." - **Analysis**: These prefixes are indeed used in common naming conventions rather than systematic (IUPAC) naming. For example, isobutane is a common name, while 2-methylbutane is the IUPAC name. Therefore, this statement is incorrect. - **Conclusion**: Statement 3 is wrong. 4. **Evaluate Statement 4**: "Systematic names of acids are formed by dropping E of the name of parent alkane and adding oic acid." - **Analysis**: This is a correct statement. For example, ethane (C₂H₆) becomes ethanoic acid (CH₃COOH) by dropping the 'e' and adding 'oic acid'. - **Conclusion**: Statement 4 is correct. ### Final Answer: The wrong statements are **Statement 1** and **Statement 3**. ---
