Question
Chapter 23, Problem 19PS
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: (a) The Lewis structures of the alkane having seven carbon chain and one methyl as a side chain have to be drawn. (b) The chiral carbon containing structures among them are to be identified.

Concept introduction:

Structural Isomers are the structure of a molecule with same molecular formula but have different arrangements of bonds and atoms. For a single molecular formula of alkanes higher than propane different arrangements of atoms can give a different structure.

A chiral carbon is the carbon atom which is substituted to four different groups. Due to presence of chiral carbon a molecule become chiral and it gives optical isomers also that is R and S isomers. For example,

All the substituents are different hence is is a chiral carbon and so molecule.

Students have asked these similar questions
Draw and name the five cycloalkane structures of formula C5H10. Can any of these structures give rise to geometric (cis-trans) isomerism? If so, show the cis and trans stereoisomers
Name the isomers of the compound with the closed formula C4H9Cl. Which of these isomers can have a chiral structure? Examine it from a stereochemical point of view.
There are 11 structures (ignoring stereoisomerism) with the formula C4H8O  that have no carbon branches. Draw the structures and identify the functional groups in each.
