Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Whether the given general formula is used to characterize (1) an alkane, (2) an alkene with one
Concept introduction:
(b)
Interpretation:
Whether the given general formula is used to characterize (1) an alkane, (2) an alkene with one
Concept introduction:
Alkanes are the saturated hydrocarbons which only contain single carbon-carbon bonds while alkenes are the unsaturated hydrocarbons which contain one or more double bonds. One or more triple bonds are present in case of alkynes.

Interpretation:
Whether the given general formula is used to characterize (1) an alkane, (2) an alkene with one
Concept introduction:
Alkanes are the saturated hydrocarbons which only contain single carbon-carbon bonds while alkenes are the unsaturated hydrocarbons which contain one or more double bonds. One or more triple bonds are present in case of alkynes.

- Select those compounds that can be correctly called unsaturated and classify each one as an alkene or an alkyne: a.CH3CH2CH3f. b.CH3CH=CHCH3g. c.h.CH2=CHCH2CH3 d.i. e.arrow_forwardWhat is meant by the term “unsaturated hydrocarbon”? What structural feature characterizes unsaturated hydrocarbons?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_forward
- . Alkenes and alkynes are characterized by their ability to undergo rapid, complete reactions, by which other atoms attach themselves to the carbon atoms of the double or triple bond.arrow_forwardConsider a sample of a hydrocarbon at 0.959 atm and 298 K. Upon combusting the entire sample in oxygen, you collect a mixture of gaseous carbon dioxide and water vapor at 1.51 atm and 375 K. This mixture has a density of 1.391 g/L and occupies a volume four times as large as that of the pure hydrocarbon. Determine the molecular formula of the hydrocarbon and name it.arrow_forward
