- Summarize the nomenclature rules for alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and aromatic compounds. Correct the following false statements regarding nomenclature of hydrocarbons. a. The root name for a hydrocarbon is based on the shortest continuous chain of carbon atoms. b. The suffix used to name all hydrocarbons is -ane. c. Substituent groups are numbered so as to give the largest numbers possible. d. No number is required to indicate the positions of double or triple bonds in alkenes and alkynes. e. Substituent groups get the lowest number possible in alkenes and alkynes. f. The ortho- term in aromatic hydrocarbons indicates the presence of two substituent groups bonded to carbon- 1 and carbon-3 in benzene.arrow_forwardExplain why two different straight-chain alkanes could not be constitutional isomers.arrow_forwardWhat is a hydrocarbon? What is the difference between a saturated hydrocarbon and an unsaturated hydrocarbon? Distinguish between normal and branched hydrocarbons. What is an alkane? What is a cyclic alkane? What are the two general formulas for alkanes? What is the hybridization of carbon atoms in alkanes? What are the bond angles in alkanes? Why are cyclopropane and cyclobutane so reactive? The normal (unbranched) hydrocarbons are often referred to as straight-chain hydrocarbons. What does this name refer to? Does it mean that the carbon atoms in a straight-chain hydrocarbon really have a linear arrangement? Explain. In the shorthand notation for cyclic alkanes, the hydrogens are usually omitted. How do you determine the number of hydrogens bonded to each carbon in a ring structure?arrow_forward
- Distinguish between isomerism and resonance. Distinguish between structural and geometric isomerism. When writing the various structural isomers, the most difficult task is identifying which are different isomers and which are identical to a previously written structurethat is, which are compounds that differ only by the rotation of a carbon single bond. How do you distinguish between structural isomers and those that are identical? Alkenes and cycloalkanes are structural isomers of each other. Give an example of each using C4H8. Another common feature of alkenes and cycloalkanes is that both have restricted rotation about one or more bonds in the compound, so both can exhibit cis- trans isomerism. What is required for an alkene or cycloalkane to exhibit cis-trans isomerism? Explain the difference between cis and trans isomers. Alcohols and ethers are structural isomers of each other, as are aldehydes and ketones. Give an example of each to illustrate. Which functional group in Table 21-4 can be structural isomers of carboxylic acids? What is optical isomerism? What do you look for to determine whether an organic compound exhibits optical isomerism? 1-Bromo-1-chloroethane is optically active whereas 1-bromo-2-chloroethane is not optically active. Explain.arrow_forwardName the organic compound below A. 2,2,4-trimethyl-3-hexene B. 2,3,3-trimethyl-2-hexene C. 2,2,4-trimethyl-3-hexyne D. 2,3,3-trimethyl-2-hexynearrow_forwardGive the molecular formula for each of the following compounds. a. an alkene that has four carbons c. an alkyne that has seven carbons b. a saturated hydrocarbon that has six carbons d. an alkene that has fi ve carbonsarrow_forward

Describe how geometric isomers are different from structural isomers. 2. Why is it possible for alkenes and cylcoalkanes to have cis-trans isomers but not alkanes? 3. How are cis-trans isomers shown in diagrams?arrow_forward
- Indicate whether each molecule is an aliphatic or an aromatic hydrocarbon. If it is aliphatic, identify the molecule as an alkane, cycloalkane, an alkene, or an alkyne. Separate your answer with a dash. Example. ALIPHATIC HYDROCARBON-CYCLOALKANE * H H C -C. H.arrow_forward2. Determine whether cis-trans isomerism is possible for each of the following cycloalkanes. If so, then draw structural formulas for the cis and trans isomers.. a. Methylcyclohexane b. 1,1-Dimethylcyclohexane c. 1,3-Dimethylcyclobutane d. 1-Ethyl-2-methylcyclobutanearrow_forward1.
