Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The structure of alkane with only 1° and 4° carbon atoms should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
(b)
Interpretation:
The structure of cycloalkane with only 2° carbon atoms should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Cycloalkanes are saturated hydrocarbons which are mainly composed of C and H atoms with ring or cyclic structures. The molecule consists of at least one ring of carbon atoms in which all C atoms are bonded to other carbon atoms and with H atoms. In cycloalkanes, all carbon atoms are bonded with single covalent bonds. The general formula of cycloalkane is
(c)
Interpretation:
The structure of alkane with
Concept Introduction:
Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons which are mainly composed of C and H atoms. The molecule consists of long carbon chain in which all C atoms are bonded to other carbon atoms and with H atoms. In alkanes, all carbon atoms are bonded with single covalent bonds. The general formula of alkane is
(d)
Interpretation:
The structure of cycloalkane with 2° and 3° carbon atoms should be determined.

- How does the structure of a cycloalkane differ from that of a straight-chain or branched-chain alkane?arrow_forwardSummarize the nomenclature rules for alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and aromatic compounds. Correct the following false statements regarding nomenclature of hydrocarbons. a. The root name for a hydrocarbon is based on the shortest continuous chain of carbon atoms. b. The suffix used to name all hydrocarbons is -ane. c. Substituent groups are numbered so as to give the largest numbers possible. d. No number is required to indicate the positions of double or triple bonds in alkenes and alkynes. e. Substituent groups get the lowest number possible in alkenes and alkynes. f. The ortho- term in aromatic hydrocarbons indicates the presence of two substituent groups bonded to carbon- 1 and carbon-3 in benzene.arrow_forwardDraw all the structural isomers for C8H18 that have the following root name (longest carbon chain). Name the structural isomers. a. heptanes b. butanearrow_forward
- Indicate whether each statement is true or false. Two generic isomers of pentane are n-pentane and neo-pentane. Alkenes can have cis and trans isomers around the CC double bond. Alkynes can have cis and trans isomers around CC triple bond.arrow_forwardThe name of an alkyne that has 7 carbon atoms (C1C2C3C4C5C6C7) where the carbon - carbon triple bond is between carbon 5 and 6; and with 2 methyl substituent located at C 3 and C 4 is ____.arrow_forwardWhat is the molecular formula of a cyclic alkane with 6 carbon atoms? C6H14 C6H10 C6H16 O C6H12 соно Oarrow_forward
- Indicate whether each molecule is an aliphatic or an aromatic hydrocarbon. If it is aliphatic, identify the molecule as an alkane, an alkene, or an alkyne. Separate your answer with a dash. Example.
