Concept explainers

Alkanes and Cycloalkanes

Alkanes are saturated organic compounds which are made up of C and H atoms. Alkanes have the general formula of CnH2n+2. Alkane contains sp3 hybridized carbon atoms with four sigmas (σ) bonds & every hydrogen atom is connected with one of the carbon atoms. The size of the alkane could be determined by the number of carbon atoms located in it.

**Title: Understanding Isoprene Units in Organic Molecules**

**Introduction**

In this lesson, we will explore how to identify isoprene units within different organic molecules. Isoprene units are fundamental building blocks in organic chemistry, particularly in the structures of terpenes and other natural compounds.

**Exercise: Identifying Isoprene Units**

Below are the structural representations of two molecules. Your task is to find and highlight the isoprene units within each structure.

**1. Grandisol**

- **Description:** Grandisol is known as the sex pheromone of the male boll weevil. Its structure includes an alcohol group (OH) attached to a cyclopentane ring.

![Grandisol Structure]

**2. Camphor**

- **Description:** Camphor is a well-known compound with a distinct scent, commonly used in medicine. It features a bicyclic structure with a ketone group (C=O).

![Camphor Structure]

**Instructions**

- Examine each diagram and identify the repeating isoprene units.
- Look for the classic five-carbon backbone with a branched structure, often depicted as a combination of two or more overlapping carbon rings or chains.
