Chapter 23, Problem 33A

a.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: To draw the structural formula of 1,2,2-trichlorobutane.

Concept Introduction: Structural Formula will give a brief picture of atoms or molecules in the order they are bonded. It also represents how the atoms are bonded to one another via a single bond, double bond, or triple bond. In the structural formula, the covalent bonds are represented by a dash.

Answer to Problem 33A

  

Explanation of Solution

The longest carbon chain contains four carbons in them therefore, it is named butane. There is one chlorine on the first carbon and two chlorine atoms are attached to the second carbon. Since there are three chlorine atoms and four carbons, it is named as 1,2,2-trichlorobutane.

b.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: To draw the structural formula of 1,3,5-tribromobenzene.

Concept Introduction: Structural Formula will give a brief picture of atoms or molecules in the order they are bonded. It also represents how the atoms are bonded to one another via a single bond, double bond, or triple bond. In the structural formula, the covalent bonds are represented by a dash.

Answer to Problem 33A

  

Explanation of Solution

There are three bromine atoms at the first, third, and fifth carbon atoms of the benzene ring. Therefore, 1,3,5-tribromobenzene has the following structural formula.

c.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: To draw the structural formula of 1,2-dichlorocyclohexane.

Concept Introduction: Structural Formula will give a brief picture of atoms or molecules in the order they are bonded. It also represents how the atoms are bonded to one another via a single bond, double bond, or triple bond. In the structural formula, the covalent bonds are represented by a dash.

Answer to Problem 33A

  

Explanation of Solution

The longest carbon chain is cyclohexane with 6 carbons. The chlorine is attached to the first carbon and the second carbon therefore, the structural formula represents 1,2-dichlorocyclohexane.
