(a) H

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:The number of constitutional isomeric monohalogenated products that can form from butane should be determined.

Concept introduction: The carbon linked to one alkyl/carbon while other three are termed primary carbon. Thus, hydrogen linked to such carbon is referred as primary.

The carbon linked to two alkyl/carbons and two H is termed secondary carbon. Thus, hydrogen linked to such carbon is referred as secondary.

The carbon linked to three alkyl groups/carbons and one H is termed tertiary carbon. Thus, hydrogen linked to such carbon is referred as tertiary.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:The number of constitutional isomeric monohalogenated products that can form from pentane should be determined.

Concept introduction:The carbon linked to one alkyl/carbon while other three H are termed primary carbon. Thus, hydrogen linked to such carbon is referred as primary.

The carbon linked to two alkyl/carbons and two H is termed secondary carbon. Thus, hydrogen linked to such carbon is referred as secondary.

The carbon linked to three alkyl groups/carbons and one H is termed tertiary carbon. Thus, hydrogen linked to such carbon is referred as tertiary.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:The number of constitutional isomeric monohalogenated products that can form from 3methylpentane should be determined.

Concept introduction:The carbon linked to one alkyl/carbon while other three H are termed primary carbon. Thus, hydrogen linked to such carbon is referred as primary.

The carbon linked to two alkyl/carbons and two H is termed secondary carbon. Thus, hydrogen linked to such carbon is referred as secondary.

The carbon linked to three alkyl groups/carbons and one H is termed tertiary carbon. Thus, hydrogen linked to such carbon is referred as tertiary.

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:The number of constitutional isomeric monohalogenated products that can form from 1methylcyclopentane should be determined.

Concept introduction: The carbon linked to one alkyl / carbon while other two H are termed primary carbon. Thus, hydrogen linked to such carbon is referred as primary.

The carbon linked to two alkyl /carbons and one H is termed secondary carbon. Thus, hydrogen linked to such carbon is referred as secondary.

The carbon linked to three alkyl groups/carbons and no H is termed tertiary carbon. Thus, hydrogen linked to such carbon is referred as tertiary.

Explain briefly and clearly the following concepts, taking as reference the molecule of n-butane and the corresponding drawings or illustrations. See pages 149-152 of the book Organic Chemistry, sixth edition (J. G. Smith). 4. What is steric hindrance in a conformation? Then draw a picture to illustrate the concept?  5. What is the torsional stress of a conformation? Then draw a picture to illustrate the concept?  6. Describe 1,3-diaxial interaction and illustrate with a specific example.
Which of the statement is INCORRECT? a. The increase in stability of 2,4-hexadiene over 1,3-hexadiene is due to the increased double bond substitution of the former. b. The stabilization of dienes by conjugation is less pronounced than the aromatic stabilization of benzene. c. Resonance description in alkenes usually involves charge separation. d. Higher energy pi-orbitals often have decreasing number of nodes.
