(a)
Interpretation:
The structure of alkane with only 1° and 4° carbon atoms should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
(b)
Interpretation:
The structure of cycloalkane with only 2° carbon atoms should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Cycloalkanes are saturated hydrocarbons which are mainly composed of C and H atoms with ring or cyclic structures. The molecule consists of at least one ring of carbon atoms in which all C atoms are bonded to other carbon atoms and with H atoms. In cycloalkanes, all carbon atoms are bonded with single covalent bonds. The general formula of cycloalkane is
(c)
Interpretation:
The structure of alkane with
Concept Introduction:
Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons which are mainly composed of C and H atoms. The molecule consists of long carbon chain in which all C atoms are bonded to other carbon atoms and with H atoms. In alkanes, all carbon atoms are bonded with single covalent bonds. The general formula of alkane is
(d)
Interpretation:
The structure of cycloalkane with 2° and 3° carbon atoms should be determined.
