Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given cycloalkane in both condensed and line structure has to be drawn and IUPAC name of given compound has to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Cycloalkane is alkane that contains a ring of carbon atoms without any double bonds in it.

Steps involved in naming of Cycloalkane is as follows,

Step 1: Use the Cycloalkane name as the parent.

Step 2: Identify and number the substituents based on alphabetical priority.

Condensed structure: A shorthand way of drawing structures in which C-C and C-H bonds are understood rather than shown.

Line structure is a simple and quick way to represent organic molecules without showing carbons and hydrogens present.
