(a)
Interpretation:
The line structure of 4-methyl-3-propylheptane and the correct systematic name has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Line structure: Line structure is a simplest representation of a hydrocarbon. In line structure, the chain of carbon atoms is shown as a zigzag line. The end of each short line in the zigzag represents a carbon atom. Since the carbon nearly always has a valence of four in organic compounds, it is not necessary to show the hydrogen atoms.
Rules for naming compound:
- 1) The carbon atoms in the longest chain have to be counted.
- 2) The substituents have to be identified and counted.
- 3) The backbone carbon atoms have to be numbered by assigning the lowest number from the starting end.
(b)
Interpretation:
The line structure of 4,6-dimethyloctane and the correct systematic name has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(c)
Interpretation:
The line structure of 2,2-dimethyl-4-propylhexane and the correct systematic name has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(d)
Interpretation:
The line structure of 2,2-dimethyl-3-ethylhexane and the correct systematic name has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
