Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The systematic name for all
Concept introduction:
Any organic molecule can be named by using certain rules given by IUPAC (International Union for Pure and applied chemistry). IUPAC name consists of three parts in major namely Prefix suffix and root word.
Prefix represents the substituent present in the molecule and its position in the root name.
Suffix denotes the presence of functional group if any in the molecule. It can be an
Root word represents the longest continuous carbon skeleton of the organic molecule.
Nomenclature of organic molecules: The particular functional group connected into a primary carbon atom, while secondary and tertiary groups in (C2 and C3) place of carbon atoms it is called primary, secondary and tertiary structures.

- How does the structure of a cycloalkane differ from that of a straight-chain or branched-chain alkane?arrow_forwardThere are 18 isomeric alkanes of molecular formula C8H18. Draw and name any eight of them.arrow_forwardThere are 11 structures (ignoring stereoisomerism) with the formula C4H8O that have no carbon branches. Draw the structures and identify the functional groups in each.arrow_forward
- name and draw structural formulas for all cyclo-alkanes with the molecular formula C5H10. Be certain to include cis-trans isomers, as well as constitutional isomersarrow_forwardwrite the structure formulas of alkanes with molecular formula C6H14, which with chlorine give: a) three monochlorinated isomers? b) five monochlorinated isomers c) only two monochlorinated isomersarrow_forwarddraw structural formulas for all isomeric alkanes with molecular formula C7H16. Predict which isomer has the lowest boiling point and which has the highest boiling point.arrow_forward
- Name and draw structural formulas for all alkenes with the molecular formula C5H10. As you draw these alkenes, remember that cis and trans isomers are different compounds and must be counted separatelyarrow_forwardHow many cycloalkanes of molecular formula C5H10 show cis-trans isomerism?arrow_forwardDraw 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_forward
