Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The three possible structures of compound
Concept introduction:
Structural or constitutional Isomers can be defined as the molecules with same molecular formula and different structural formula. They are molecules in which the bonded atoms have different bonding with each other although the number of molecules is same. Hence to draw the possible structures of isomers with same molecular formula, we have to use same number of atoms to get different structures.
(b)
Interpretation:
Identify the structural formulas of A and B produced when
Concept introduction:
There are three possible structural isomers with molecular formula

- 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_forwardThere are three isomers of dichlorobenzene, one of which has now replaced naphthalene as the main constituent of mothballs. a. Identify the ortho, the meta, and the para isomers of dichlorobenzene. b. Predict the number of isomers for trichlorobenzene. c. It turns out that the presence of one chlorine atom on a benzene ring will cause the next substituent to add ortho or para to the first chlorine atom on the benzene ring. What does this tell you about the synthesis of m-dichlorobenzene? d. Which of the isomers of trichlorobenzene will be the hardest to prepare?arrow_forwardDraw 10 structural isomers of C5H10O that contain a ring.arrow_forward
- Consider the following reactions: When C5H12 is reacted with Cl2(g) in the presence of ultraviolet light, four different monochlorination products form. What is the structure of C5H12 in this reaction? When C4H8 is reacted with H2O, a tertiary alcohol is produced as the major product. What is the structure of C4H8 in this reaction? When C7H12 is reacted with HCl, 1-chloro-1-methylcyclohexane is produced as the major product. What are the two possible structures for C7H12 in this reaction? When a hydrocarbon is reacted with water and the major product of this reaction is then oxidized, acetone (2-propanone) is produced. What is the structure of the hydrocarbon in this reaction? When C5H12O is oxidized, a carboxylic acid is produced. What are the possible structures for C5H12O in this reaction?arrow_forwardReaction of butane (CH 3CH 2CH 2CH 3) with Cl 2 in the presence of light forms two different alkyl chlorides that have molecular formula C 4H 9Cl. Draw the structures of both alkyl chlorides.arrow_forward
