Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The isomeric
Concept introduction:
Alkynes are hydrocarbons having carbon–carbon triple bonds.
Molecule
The structural formula of a chemical compound consists of graphical representation of the molecular structure and the arrangement of atoms.
Stereoisomers are isomeric moleculeshaving same molecular formula and bonding sequence of atoms but different spatial arrangement.
When C atom is attached to four different groups, it is called the chiral carbon. A chiral molecule is non-superimposable on its mirror image.

- 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 stereoisomersarrow_forwardDraw a chiral alkene with the formula C6H12.arrow_forwardWrite a condensed structural formula for a dihydroxy compound with the formula C3H8O2.arrow_forward
- There 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_forwardWhat is the molecular formula of a hydrocarbon with M^+=166? What is the sum of the rings and double bonds in this compound?arrow_forwardAre there alkene isomers with the molecular formula C2H3Cl?arrow_forward
- Write structural formulas for all ketones with the molecular formula C6H12O and give each its IUPAC name. Which of these ketones are chiral?arrow_forwardGive the molecular formula of a hydrocarbon containingsix carbon atoms that is (a) a cyclic alkane, (b) a cyclicalkene, (c) a linear alkyne, (d) an aromatic hydrocarbon.arrow_forwardDefine Ethylene—C2H4 ?arrow_forward
- The ester with the formula C8H16O2 gives an alcohol and an acid when hydrolyzed. When the alcohol is isolated and oxidized, it forms a ketone. Which of these formulas cannot be the ester?arrow_forwardDisregarding stereoisomers, draw the structures of all alkenes with molecular formula C5H10. Which ones can exist as cis–trans isomers?arrow_forwardGlucose, C6H12O6, contains an aldehyde group but exist predominantly in the form of the cyclic hemiacetal show below. A cyclic hemiacetal is formed when the —OH group of one carbon bonds to the carbonyl group of another carbon. Identify which carbon provides the —OH group and which provides the —CHO? Give a functional isomer of glucose and draw its structure.arrow_forward
