(a)
Interpretation:
The wrong thing with the given name of cycloalkane has to be given using IUPAC rules.
Concept Introduction:
Any organic molecule can be named by using certain rules given by IUPAC (International Union for Pure and applied chemistry). IUPAC name consists of three parts in major namely Prefix suffix and root word.
Prefix represents the substituent present in the molecule and its position in the root name.
Suffix denotes the presence of functional group if any in the molecule. It can be an
Root word represents the longest continuous carbon skeleton of the organic molecule.
The IUPAC name for cycloalkane can be obtained simply by adding prefix cyclo- before the

Concept Introduction:

Prefix represents the substituent present in the molecule and its position in the root name.
Suffix denotes the presence of functional group if any in the molecule. It can be an alkene, alkyne, alcohol, carboxylic acid, alcohol etc.
Root word represents the longest continuous carbon skeleton of the organic molecule.
The IUPAC name for cycloalkane can be obtained simply by adding prefix cyclo- before the alkane name which corresponds to the total number of carbon atoms that are present in the ring. To name a cycloalkane, the first step is to find the longest carbon chain that makes a cyclic ring without any unsaturation. The next step is to identify the substituents that are present in the cyclic ring structure. The numbering has to be given in a way that the substituents get the least numbering.

- Is the general formula of a cycloalkanes the same as the general formula of an alkane, CnH2n+2? Draw any structural diagram to illustrate your answer.arrow_forwardUse the generic formula for alkanes (CnH2n+2) to derive molecular and condensed structural formulas for: a. Propane, 3 carbon atoms b. Octane, 8 carbon atoms c. Butane, 4 carbon atomsarrow_forwardDraw the structural formula for each of the following. a. 3-isobutylhexane b. 2,2,4-trimethylpentane, also called isooctane. This substance is the reference (100 level) for octane ratings. c. 2-tert-butylpentane d. The names given in parts a and c are incorrect. Give the correct names for these hydrocarbons.arrow_forward
