(a)
Interpretation:
The number of carbon atoms that would be present in a straight chain alkane with 20 hydrogen atoms needs to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Hydrocarbons (compounds containing carbon and hydrogen atoms) are broadly classified as saturated and unsaturated compounds.
Saturated hydrocarbons are characterized by the presence of C-C and C-H single bonds, these are classified as
The structure of alkanes can vary depending on the connectivity of the C atoms. If all the carbon atoms are linked in a linear fashion, these are termed as acyclic (linear) alkanes.
However, if any carbon atom(s) is bonded to another carbon atom in the center of the chain then they are called branched alkanes.
If the C atoms are connected in a ring like structure, these represent cyclic alkanes
(b)
Interpretation:
The number of carbon atoms that would be present in a branched alkane with 20 hydrogen atoms needs to be identified.
