An
(b)
Interpretation:
The structure for the given haloalkane is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
An alkane is said to be substituted if a hydrogen atom of the alkane is replaced by another atom or group of atoms. In the name of a haloalkane, the root defines the number of carbon atoms in the longest chain. The carbon atom of the root to which the halogen atom is attached is shown by the locant number. The name of the halo substituent tells the halogen which is attached to the longest chain.
(c)

- Why are different conformations of an alkane not considered structural isomers?arrow_forwardHow does the structure of a cycloalkane differ from that of a straight-chain or branched-chain alkane?arrow_forwardSelect those compounds that can be correctly called unsaturated and classify each one as an alkene or an alkyne: a.CH3CH2CH3f. b.CH3CH=CHCH3g. c.h.CH2=CHCH2CH3 d.i. e.arrow_forward
- Classify each of the following compounds as a normal alkane or a branched alkane: a. b. c. d. e. f.arrow_forwardWhat is a hydrocarbon? What is the difference between a saturated hydrocarbon and an unsaturated hydrocarbon? Distinguish between normal and branched hydrocarbons. What is an alkane? What is a cyclic alkane? What are the two general formulas for alkanes? What is the hybridization of carbon atoms in alkanes? What are the bond angles in alkanes? Why are cyclopropane and cyclobutane so reactive? The normal (unbranched) hydrocarbons are often referred to as straight-chain hydrocarbons. What does this name refer to? Does it mean that the carbon atoms in a straight-chain hydrocarbon really have a linear arrangement? Explain. In the shorthand notation for cyclic alkanes, the hydrogens are usually omitted. How do you determine the number of hydrogens bonded to each carbon in a ring structure?arrow_forward
