Chapter 18, Problem 60E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The correct structures for each of the compound is to be provided.

Concept Introduction:

Alkenes are the hydrocarbons that contain atleast one double bond between carbon atoms.

The general formula of alkenes is ${\text{C}}_n{\text{H}}_{2n}$.

Alkynes are the hydrocarbons that contain atleast one triple bond between carbon atoms.

The general formula of alkenes is ${\text{C}}_n{\text{H}}_{2n-2}$.

Base name contains a prefix and an ending.

The prefix tells about the number of carbon atom in the base chain.

For alkenes, the base name always ends with –ene.

For alkynes, the base name always ends with –yne.

Groups of carbon atom other than base chain are known as alkyl groups.

Alkyl groups are named as substituents.
