Chapter 4, Problem 4.38P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The structure of five constitutional isomers with molecular formula C4H8 has to be drawn.

Concept introduction: Isomers are the compounds having same molecular formula but different structures. Constitutional isomers are the isomers have different connectivity of atoms. The degree of unsaturation in a compound having molecular formula CaHbNcOd is expressed as follows:

Degree of unsaturation =a+1+cb2

Where, a = number of carbon atoms

b = number of hydrogen atoms

c = number of nitrogen atoms

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation: The structure of nine constitutional isomers with molecular formula C7H16 has to be drawn.

Concept introduction: Isomers are the compounds having same molecular formula but different structures. Constitutional isomers are the isomers have different connectivity of atoms. The degree of unsaturation in a compound having molecular formula CaHbNcOd is expressed as follows:

Degree of unsaturation =a+1+cb2

Where, a = number of carbon atoms

b = number of hydrogen atoms

c = number of nitrogen atoms

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation: The structure of twelve constitutional isomers containing a ring with molecular formula C6H12 has to be drawn.

Concept introduction: Isomers are the compounds having same molecular formula but different structures. Constitutional isomers are the isomers have different connectivity of atoms. The degree of unsaturation in a compound having molecular formula CaHbNcOd is expressed as follows:
