(a)
Interpretation: Complete structural formulas for Octane is to be drawn.
Concept Introduction: When more than 2 Carbon atoms are connected like the links of a chain, they are called straight-chain
(a)
Answer to Problem 10LC
Structural formula for Octane
Explanation of Solution
Draw eight Carbon atoms in a row, then to show Carbon-Carbon bonds, they should be put in lines.
Carbon with 8 atoms
C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C
Enough covalent bonds are to be added to give each Carbon a total of 4 bonds.
Finally, add Hydrogen to fill out the Carbon-Hydrogen bonds.
Carbon with 8 atoms
