Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The structural formula for the compounds based on their systematic names is to be written.
Concept introduction:
The structural formula is the formula thatprovides an insight into the structure of the compound. It shows all the substituents and functional groups present in that compound.
The structure can be easily written from the systematic name. The parent chain is at first drawn and then it is numbered from any end. The substituents can be written on those numbers bearing carbon in the parent chain.
Thereafter, the name is written, which includes the name of the substituent and the number of substituents. The substituents are written with their number in alphabetical order, followed by the name of the parent chain and the functional group as a suffix.
The suffix –olis used for the alcohol group.
The suffix –al is used for the aldehyde group.
The suffix –one is used for the ketone group.
The –e ending of an
The suffix amide is then added for the amide group.
The suffix -oate is used for the ester.
Functional groups are specific substituent within the molecules that are responsible for the characteristic

- Distinguish between isomerism and resonance. Distinguish between structural and geometric isomerism. When writing the various structural isomers, the most difficult task is identifying which are different isomers and which are identical to a previously written structurethat is, which are compounds that differ only by the rotation of a carbon single bond. How do you distinguish between structural isomers and those that are identical? Alkenes and cycloalkanes are structural isomers of each other. Give an example of each using C4H8. Another common feature of alkenes and cycloalkanes is that both have restricted rotation about one or more bonds in the compound, so both can exhibit cis- trans isomerism. What is required for an alkene or cycloalkane to exhibit cis-trans isomerism? Explain the difference between cis and trans isomers. Alcohols and ethers are structural isomers of each other, as are aldehydes and ketones. Give an example of each to illustrate. Which functional group in Table 21-4 can be structural isomers of carboxylic acids? What is optical isomerism? What do you look for to determine whether an organic compound exhibits optical isomerism? 1-Bromo-1-chloroethane is optically active whereas 1-bromo-2-chloroethane is not optically active. Explain.arrow_forwardInstead of using the ending “ol,” an OH can be treated like a substituent or halogen using the term“hydroxyl.” For example, hexane-2,4-diol can be called 2,4-dihydroxyhexane. Write anequivalent name for 1,2,3-cyclohexanetriol using the term “hydroxyl.”arrow_forwardWhy are different conformations of an alkane not considered structural isomers?arrow_forward
- Describe structural isomerism and the different types that exist. With the aid of diagrams use the molecular formulae C5H12 and C5H10 to explain structural isomerism in aliphatic alkanes and alkenesarrow_forward1-Propylamine, propan-1-ol, acetic acid, and butane have about the same molar masses. Which would you expect to have the (a) highest boiling point, (b) lowest boiling point, (c) least solubility in water, and (d) least chemical reactivity? Have each member of your group chose a part to answer, andthen discuss with each other why those answers were chosen.arrow_forwardGive the molecular formula of a hydrocarbon containingfive carbon atoms that is (a) an alkane, (b) a cycloalkane,(c) an alkene, (d) an alkyne.arrow_forward
- identify some common functional groups of organicmolecules from their formulaearrow_forward1. Give two organic compounds. The first compound must be a synthetic or man-made organic compound and the second compound must be a natural product or organic compound from natural sources (medicinal plant, coral, animal such as snail or microorganism such as bacteria or fungi). Compounds must have equal to or more than twenty carbon atoms. 2. Your chosen organic compound must have application in the management of human health or veterinary medicine. (for example for the treatment of pain or bacterial infection in human and animal).arrow_forward
