Chapter 12.2, Problem 12.8P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The skeletal structure for following compound should be drawn.

  ${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CH}}_2{\text{CH}}_2{\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}$ (hexane)

Concept Introduction:

Compounds consist of carbon and hydrogen is known as hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons are classified as saturated hydrocarbon and unsaturated hydrocarbon. Saturated hydrocarbons are those hydrocarbons in which carbon-carbon single bond is present as carbon is linked with four atoms. Unsaturated hydrocarbons are those hydrocarbons in which carbon-carbon multiple bonds are present that is double and triple bond.

Saturated hydrocarbon is known as alkane having general molecular formula ${\text{C}}_n{\text{H}}_{2n+2}$.

The skeletal structure is also known as line angle formula. The structure of an organic compound is denoted by the shorthand representation of molecule's bonding is known as skeletal structure.
