Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The structural formula of 3-methylhexane should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Compounds consist of carbon and hydrogen is known as hydrocarbons. Saturated hydrocarbon is known as alkane having general molecular formula
Rules of drawing structures of
- First identify the base name, and then draw the straight chain of carbon atoms according to the base name.
- After that according to the given position of the substituents, locate them on carbon atoms (replacement of hydrogen atom occurs).
(b)
Interpretation:
