Using only C, H and O, write a structural formula for the lowest-molecular-weight chiral molecule of each of the following compounds a) Alkane b)Alcohol c)Aldehyde d)Ketone e)Carboxylic Acid I realise this question has been asked but the previous seen formulas do not work for my homework.
(a) Draw a skeletal structure of the anabolic steroid methenolone from the following description. Methenolone contains the tetracyclic steroid skeleton with a carbonyl group at C3, a hydroxyl at C17, a double bond between C1 and C2, and methyl groups bonded to C1, C10, and C13. (b) Add wedges and dashed wedges for all stereogenic centers with thefollowing information: the configuration at C10 is R, the configuration at C13 is S, the configuration at C17 is S, and all substituents at ring fusions are trans to each other. (c) Draw the structure of Primobolan, the product formed  when methenolone is treated with CH3(CH2)5COCl and pyridine. Primobolan is an anabolic steroid that can be taken orally or by injection and has been used illegally by well-known Major League Baseball players.
(a) Draw the nine isomers having the formula C7H16 . (Hint: There is one structure with a seven-carbon chain, two structures with six-carbon chains [one is illustrated in the margin above], five structures with a five-carbon chain, and one structure with a fourcarbon chain.)(b) Identify the isomers of C7H16 that are chiral.
