Chapter 11.2, Problem 11.1QC
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Name and molecular formula of given alkane to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Alkane is a long chain of carbon linked with only single bond between each carbon.

Naming of alkane depends on principal long chain of carbon as ‘eth’ is used for chain containing 2 carbon.

‘Prop’ used for chain contains 3 carbon and so on and ‘oct’ used for 8 carbon chain.

Formula of alkane is Cn H2n +2.

Where, n is number of carbon atom.
