Identify the structure of the compound which is responsible for Bhopal disaster?
  1. $\mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{C}-\mathrm{C} \equiv \mathrm{N}$
  2. $\mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{C}-\mathrm{N}=\mathrm{C}=\mathrm{O}$
  3. $\mathrm{N} \equiv \mathrm{C}-\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{CH}_3$
  4. $\mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{C}-\mathrm{N}^{+} \equiv \mathrm{C}^{-}$

Solution

Bhopal disaster was the result of leakage of methyl isocyanate gas from a pesticide plant in Bhopal which caused many deaths. The structure of the compound is $\mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{C}-\mathrm{N}=\mathrm{C}=\mathrm{O}$.
