Transcribed Image Text:### Organic Chemistry: Structural Formulas
**Figure iii)** depicts the structural formula of an organic compound that consists of a cyclohexane ring with additional substituents. The skeleton structure shows a six-membered ring with various alkyl groups attached.
The compound appears to be a derivative of cyclohexane with the following characteristics:
- There is a methyl group attached to the 1-position.
- A ketone functional group (=O) can be seen on a carbon atom, indicating the presence of a carbonyl group.
**Figure iv)** shows the structural formula of a second organic compound. This structure includes:
- A benzene ring (phenyl group) attached to the main carbon chain.
- The carbon chain consists of a ketone (=O) functional group.
- The structure includes an ethyl group directly attached to the carbon adjacent to the ketone group, and the benzene ring is connected via a carbon that attaches to the same carbon chain.
Both figures (iii) and (iv) are useful for understanding functional groups and hydrocarbon backbones in organic chemistry, and they demonstrate the diversity of carbon-based molecular structures.
#### Diagrams Explained
- **iii)** Cyclohexane derivative — Shows a six-membered ring with two types of substituents: a ketone and an alkyl group.
- **iv)** Benzyl ketone — Highlights the presence of a phenyl (benzene ring) attached to a carbon chain with a ketone functional group.
These diagrams are essential for students to understand molecular geometry as well as functional group identification in the context of organic chemistry.
