Concept explainers
(i)
Interpretation: It should be identified for the following compound which is an (non-cyclic) alkane.
Concept introduction: The structure of the
(1) The parent name give the information about the longest chain of the carbon atoms for alkane.
(2) The prefix written in the systematic name tells about the side chains and their positions.
(3) Numbering should be given according to side chain, so that carbon atom having side chain get a least numbering.
(4) If molecule has more than one side chain which are different then name should be written alphabetically.
(ii)
Interpretation: It should be identified for the following compound which is an (non-cyclic) alkane.
Concept introduction: The structure of the alkanes can be drawn with the help of their systematic name.
(1) The parent name give the information about the longest chain of the carbon atoms for alkane.
(2) The prefix written in the systematic name tells about the side chains and their positions.
(3) Numbering should be given according to side chain, so that carbon atom having side chain get a least numbering.
(4) If molecule has more than one side chain which are different then name should be written alphabetically.

- Draw all possible structure(s) and give the IUPAC systematic name(s) of an alkane or cycloalkane with the formula C8H18 that has only primary hydrogen atoms...arrow_forwardDraw the constitutional isomers with one methyl group. For C6H12O6 formulaarrow_forward1. a. 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. b. Draw and name the eight cycloalkane structures of formula C6H12 that do not show geometric isomerism. c. Draw and name the four cycloalkanes of formula C6H12 that do have cis-trans isomers. 2. Each of the following descriptions applies to more than one alkane. In each case, draw and name two structures that match the description. (a) an isopropylheptane (b) a diethyldecane (c) a cis-diethylcyclohexane (d) a trans-dihalocyclopentane (e) a (2,3-dimethylpentyl)cycloalkane (f) a bicyclononane 3. 2. refer to the photo attached and answer the ff.3-33, 3-34arrow_forward
- How would you know how to draw the 9 isomers of heptane? I though I could draw any C-C bond as long as the molecular formula (C7H16) was honored.arrow_forwardIf you rotate the hydrogen atoms to a different position in a a model of C2H6 by turning about the central C—C bond, do you get different structural (or constitutional) isomers of C2H5Cl?arrow_forwardThere are 17 possible alkene isomers with the formula C6H12. Draw structures of the five isomers in which the longest chain has six carbon atoms, and give the name of each. Are any of these isomers chiral? (There are also eight isomers in which the longest chain has five carbon atoms, and four isomers in which the longest chain has four carbon atoms. How many can you find?)arrow_forward
- Following is a structural formula for cortisol (hydrocortisone). Draw a stereo-representation of this molecule showing the conformations of the five- and six-membered rings.arrow_forwardwrite the structure formulas of alkanes with molecular formula C6H14, which with chlorine give: a) three monochlorinated isomers? b) five monochlorinated isomers c) only two monochlorinated isomersarrow_forwardDraw all constitutional isomers of C9H12 that contain a benzene ring.arrow_forward
- 1. Draw the constitutional isomers of the molecular formula C6H14 and name each using IUPAC system. A. Which one gives two and only two monobromo derivatives when it reacts with Br2 and light? Name the products using IUPAC system B. Which give three and only three monobromo products? Name the products, using the IUPAC system.arrow_forwardThere are 11 structures (ignoring stereoisomerism) with the formula C4H8O that have no carbon branches. Draw the structures and identify the functional groups in each.arrow_forwardAn unknown organic compound is found on elementalanalysis to contain 68.1% carbon, 13.7% hydrogen, and18.2% oxygen by mass. It is slightly soluble in water. Uponcareful oxidation it is converted into a compound thatbehaves chemically like a ketone and contains 69.7% carbon,11.7% hydrogen, and 18.6% oxygen by mass. Indicatetwo or more reasonable structures for the unknown.arrow_forward
