Chapter 12, Problem 12.48EP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The total number of carbon atoms that is present in the longest continuous chain has to be found for the given skeletal structural formulas.

Concept Introduction:

Any organic molecule can be named by using certain rules given by IUPAC (International Union for Pure and applied chemistry).  IUPAC name consists of three parts in major namely Prefix suffix and root word.

Prefix represents the substituent present in the molecule and its position in the root name.

Suffix denotes the presence of functional group if any in the molecule.  It can be an alkene, alkyne, alcohol, carboxylic acid, alcohol etc.

Root word represents the longest continuous carbon skeleton of the organic molecule.

To name an alkane the first step is to found out the longest continuous chain.  The other carbon atoms that are present apart from the longest carbon chain is the substituents.
