JAMB: PRACTICE QUESTIONS (ORGANIC CHEMISTRY)

As promised here we are Organic Chemistry questions and i guess i have guys that are good in organic take your time an answer this questions to test your self to know well you have prepared, as i clearly stated in my post on Inorganic Chemistry this questions are only meant for our readers to test them selves be for going tor the main exam and not the questions you will see on the day of JAMB.
Feel free to comment in case you have any thing at all to comment, if you have not gone through our questions in Inorganic part of Chemistry and you wish to do so Click here
