(a)
Interpretation:
Condensed and skeletal structure of 3,4-diethyl-2-methylheptane has to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
IUPAC systematic method: 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.
Condensed Formula: The molecular formula where the symbols of atoms are listed in order as they appear in the respective molecular structure with bonded dash omitted or limited it is called the condensed structure.
Skeletal formula: It’s indicated as the line-angle formula or shorted formula of an organic compound is a type of molecular structural formula the indicated of molecular bonding and information its molecular geometry.
(b)
Interpretation:
Condensed and skeletal structure of 2,2,5-dimethylhexane has to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
IUPAC systematic method: 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 alkene, alkyne, alcohol, carboxylic acid, alcohol etc...
Root word represents the longest continuous carbon skeleton of the organic molecule.
Condensed Formula: The molecular formula where the symbols of atoms are listed in order as they appear in the respective molecular structure with bonded dash omitted or limited it is called the condensed structure.
Skeletal formula: It’s indicated as the line-angle formula or shorted formula of an organic compound is a type of molecular structural formula the indicated of molecular bonding and information its molecular geometry.
