Chapter 12.4, Problem 12.10P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The number of carbon atoms present in the longest chain of following molecule should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Compounds consist of carbon and hydrogen is known as hydrocarbons. Saturated hydrocarbon is known as alkane having general molecular formula ${\text{C}}_n{\text{H}}_{2n+2}$.

According to the rules of naming alkanes, first rule is to choose the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms known as parent chain and determines the base name of alkane.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The number of carbon atoms present in the longest chain of following molecule should be determined.

  ${\text{(CH}}_{\text{3}}\text{)}\text{C}{\text{H(CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{)}}_{\text{3}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}$

Concept Introduction:
