Chapter 12.4, Problem 12.13P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The structural formula of 3-methylhexane 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 CnH2n+2.

Rules of drawing structures of alkanes are:

  1. First identify the base name, and then draw the straight chain of carbon atoms according to the base name.
  2. After that according to the given position of the substituents, locate them on carbon atoms (replacement of hydrogen atom occurs).

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:
