Chapter 10, Problem 10.53P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

To draw the structural formula for compound with a carboxyl group having molecular formula ${\text{C}}_{\text{4}}{\text{H}}_{\text{8}}{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}$

Concept Introduction:

The atoms in a molecule form bonds which are represented by the lines like single line for single bond, double line for double bond and triple line for triple bond. Carboxyl groups contains −COOH group in its structure.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

To draw the structural formula for compoundwith an ester group having molecular formula ${\text{C}}_{\text{4}}{\text{H}}_{\text{8}}{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}$

Concept Introduction:

The atoms in a molecule form bonds which are represented by the lines like single line for single bond, double line for double bond and triple line for triple bond. An ester groups contains −COOR group in its structure.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

To draw the structural formula for compound ketone group −C=O and secondary alcohol contains −OH group with the molecular formula ${\text{C}}_{\text{4}}{\text{H}}_{\text{8}}{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}$

Concept Introduction:

The atoms in a molecule form bonds which are represented by the lines like single line for single bond, double line for double bond and triple line for triple bond. A ketone group has−C=O and secondary alcohol contains −OH group in its structure.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

To draw the structural formula for aldehyde group (-CHO) and tertiary alcohol group (-OH) compound having the molecular formula ${\text{C}}_{\text{4}}{\text{H}}_{\text{8}}{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}$

Concept Introduction:

The atoms in a molecule form bonds which are represented by the lines like single line for single bond, double line for double bond and triple line for triple bond. An aldehyde group has −CHO and tertiary alcohol contains −OH group in its structure.
