    Which of the following is the industrial method of preparation of acetaldehyde?

    A)  \[C{{H}_{3}}CN\xrightarrow[HCl]{SnC{{l}_{2}}}\]\[C{{H}_{3}}CH=NH\xrightarrow{{{H}_{3}}{{O}^{+}}}C{{H}_{3}}CHO\]

    B)  \[C{{H}_{3}}COCl+{{H}_{2}}\xrightarrow[BaS{{O}_{4}}]{Pd}C{{H}_{3}}CHO+HCl\]

    C)  \[C{{H}_{2}}=C{{H}_{2}}+{{H}_{2}}O\xrightarrow{P{{d}^{2+}}}C{{H}_{3}}CHO\]

    D)  None of the above

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                     Among isoelectronic ions (ions having same number of electrons but different nuclear charge) the greater the nuclear charge, the greater is the attraction for electrons and smaller is the ionic radius. Hence, the increasing order of ionic size is as\[A{{l}^{3+}}<N{{a}^{+}}<{{F}^{-}}<{{O}^{2-}}\].
