(a)
Interpretation:
With the help of Table 12-1, the total number of constitutional isomers possible for the given
Concept Introduction:
Organic compounds are represented shortly by the molecular formula and structural formula. Each and every compound has its own molecular formula. Compounds can have same molecular formula but not same structural formula.
Isomers are the compounds that have same molecular formula but different structural formula. The main difference lies in the way the atoms are arranged in the structure. Isomers have different chemical and physical properties even when they have same molecular formula. This is known as Isomerism.
If there is difference only in the connectivity of the atoms in the molecule, then it is known as constitutional isomerism. The isomers are known as constitutional isomers. They will have same molecular formula and same
Continuous-chain alkane is the one in which all the carbon atoms are bonded in a linear chain (nonbranching chain).
Branched-chain alkane is an alkane which has atleast one branch in its structure that is attached to the continuous chain of carbon atoms.
(b)
Interpretation:
With the help of Table 12-1, the total number of constitutional isomers possible for the given alkane has to be indicated.

- Draw the structure of the wax composed of stearic acid and a straight-chained alcohol with 30 carbon atoms.arrow_forwardDefine enantiomers or optical isomers. Give examplesarrow_forwardWhen Alfred Werner was developing the field of coordination chemistry, it was argued by some that the optical activity he observed in the chiral complexes he had prepared was due to the presence of carbon atoms in themolecule. To disprove this argument, Werner synthesized a chiral complex of cobalt that had no carbon atoms in it, and he was able to resolve it into its enantiomers. Design a cobalt(III) complex that would be chiral if it could be synthesized and that contains no carbon atoms.arrow_forward
