Concept introduction:
The compounds that have the same molecular formula for atoms but different structures of compoundsdepending on the position of atoms are called isomers.
In chemical nomenclature, the
The parent chain is the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms.
The parent chain is numbered from that end that is closest to the substituent.
If the same substituent occurs more than once, the location of each point on which the substituent occurs is given.
If there are two or more different substituents they are listed in alphabetical order using the base name
The name of the
For naming the cyclic organic compounds, the word “cyclo” is used as prefix.
For
In double bond or cyclic compounds, if two same functional groups are present on the same side of the double bond or cyclic compound, the given compound can be labeled as cis.
If the two functional groups are present on the different sides of the double bond or cyclic compound, the given compound can be labeled as Trans.
Cis-trans isomerism exists in the compounds in which similar groups are present on the adjacent carbon atoms.

- draw 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_forwardDraw structural formulas for possible isomers with the formula C3H6ClBr, and name each isomer.arrow_forwardThere 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_forward
