Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The isomeric structures of octane having five carbons in their principal chains are to be drawn. The naming for all the structures is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The naming of the chemical compound is done using the parameters given by IUPAC. IUPAC stands for International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry. This system of nomenclature is accepted worldwide. The IUPAC system provides the set of rules in order to do the naming of the chemical compounds.
Isomers are the chemical compounds which have same chemical formula but different arrangement of molecules.
