Concept explainers
a.
To determine:
The name of given straight chain alkane or cycloalkane.
Introduction:
b.
To determine:
The name of given straight chain alkane or cycloalkane.
Introduction:
Alkanes are the hydrocarbons in which the atoms are linked by a single bond. They are classified as linear, which contains linear carbon-carbon chain; branched, which contains carbon-carbon chain that has branches and cycloalkanes, which contain closed rings.
