Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
State true or false for the following statement: Conformations have the same molecular formula and the same connectivity but differ in the three-dimensional arrangement of their atoms in space.
Concept Introduction:
Conformations are any three dimensional arrangement of atoms of a molecule arises due to rotation around the single bond.
(b)
Interpretation:
State true or false for the following statement:In all conformations of ethane, propane, butane, and higher
Concept Introduction:
Conformers are spatial three dimensional arrangement of atom of a molecule in space.
(c)
Interpretation:
State true or false for the following statement: In a cyclohexane ring, if an axial bond is above the plane of the ring on a particular carbon, axial bonds on the two adjacent carbon are below the plane of the ring.
Concept Introduction:
Axial is a position on a chair conformation of cyclohexane ring. It is extended from the ring parallel to the imaginary axis of the ring.
(d)
Interpretation:
State true or false for the following statement:In a cyclohexane ring, if an equatorial bond is above the plane of the ring on a particular carbon, equatorial bonds on the two adjacent carbons are below the plane of the ring.
Concept Introduction:
In chair conformation of cyclohexane equatorial position extends form the ring almost perpendicular to the imaginary axis of the ring.
(e)
Interpretation:
State true or false for the following statement: The more stable chair conformation of a cyclohexane ring has more substituent group in equatorial positions.
Concept Introduction:
A six-membered ring is more stable when the maximum number of substituent groups is equatorial.

- Name and draw structural formulas for all cycloalkanes with molecular formula C5H10. Include cis and trans isomers as well as constitutional isomers.arrow_forwardDetermine whether the following formula is exclusive for aliphatic alkanes, exclusive for cycloalkanes or can be either of them or it can also be neither of them. Consider the the possibility of isomerism. C7H14 C6H14 C7H15 C6H12 C8H16 C5H12 C2H6 C2H4 C4H9 C3H8arrow_forward1. a. Draw and name the five cycloalkane structures of formula C5H10. Can any of these structures give rise to geometric (cis-trans) isomerism? If so, show the cis and trans stereoisomers. b. Draw and name the eight cycloalkane structures of formula C6H12 that do not show geometric isomerism. c. Draw and name the four cycloalkanes of formula C6H12 that do have cis-trans isomers. 2.

- As we learned in Chapter 4, monosubstituted cyclohexanes exist as an equilibrium mixture of two conformations having either an axial or equatorial substituent. When R = CH2CH3, Keq for this process is 23.When R = C(CH3)3, Keq for this process is 4000. a.When R = CH2CH3, which conformation is present in higher concentration? b.Which R shows the higher percentage of equatorial conformation at equilibrium? c. Which R shows the higher percentage of axial conformation at equilibrium? d. For which R is ΔGo more negative? e.How is the size of R related to the amount of axial and equatorial conformations at equilibrium?arrow_forwardThere are 18 isomeric alkanes of molecular formula C8H18. Draw and name any eight of them.arrow_forwardPetroleum is a mixture of hydrocarbons made out of decay microscopic ocean-dwelling plants and animals. Crude oil which is the product collects in underground pockets in sedimentary rock can be separated to different fractions by fractional distillation. As a chemical engineer, you are required to prepare the specific details of the products. Two fractions are produced from molecular range C1-C4 and C5 - C12. For each molecular range write the structures for 5 different compounds, formulas and also contain functional group for the IUPAC name of each compound and then identify 2 different functional groups among the structures. Next, provide 5 structures using the dash format, condensed format, bond-line format and full three-dimensional format. Describe the physical properties of the 5 compounds . Determine the rank in increasing order and explain on the basis of intermolecular forces and polarity.arrow_forward
- 1. Considering compounds that have the same number of carbon atoms, explain why alkanes and cycloalkanes have different molecular formulas but alkenes and cycloalkanes have the same molecular formulas. 2. Draw the condensed or line-angle structure for an alkene with the formula C5H10. 3. Draw the condensed or line-angle structure for 4 more C5H10 isomers (2 additional alkenes and 2 cyclic isomers).arrow_forwardFollowing are structural formulas for 1,4-dioxane and piperidine. 1,4-Dioxane is a widely used solvent for organic compounds. Piperidine is found in small amounts in black pepper (Piper nigrum). (a) Complete the Lewis structure of each compound by showing all unshared electron pairs. (b) Predict bond angles about each carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen atom.
