(a)
Interpretation:
To name and draw a structural formula for each
Concept Introduction:
For a given molecular formula, there will be many possible structural formulas. The constitutional isomers have the same molecular formula but differ in the connectivity of their atoms. These are called structural isomers.
(b)
Interpretation:
To classify each constitutional isomer drawn as primary, secondary or tertiary.
Concept Introduction:
If nitrogen atom of an amine is connected to one carbon then it is called a primary amine. If the nitrogen atom of an amine is connected to two carbons, then it is called a secondary amine. If the nitrogen atom of an amine is connected to three carbons, then it is called a tertiary amine.
(c)
Interpretation:
To select the amines among the drawn structures which are chiral.
Concept Introduction:
Chirality is the property by which the actual and mirror images have their resemblance. Amines are said to be chiral if all the substituents attached to it are different.
