Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The correct number of hydrogens has to be added for the possible skeletons for a six C compound with a five C chain and two double bonds.
Concept Introduction:
The hydrocarbon is said to be a carbon atom bonded with hydrogen. The carbon atom contains four bonds. The bonds may be four single bonds or two single bonds and one double bond or one single bond and one double bond.
If the straight chain is branched, we get one type of hydrocarbon. If double bond is present, it restricts the rotation of the bond and forms cis and trans hydrocarbons.
(b)
Interpretation:
The correct number of hydrogens has to be added for the possible skeletons for a six C compound with a five C chain and one triple bond.
Concept Introduction:
The hydrocarbon is said to be a carbon atom bonded with hydrogen. The carbon atom contains four bonds. The bonds may be four single bonds or two single bonds and one double bond or one single bond and one double bond.
If the straight chain is branched, we get one type of hydrocarbon. If double bond is present, it restricts the rotation of the bond and forms cis and trans hydrocarbons.
(c)
Interpretation:
The correct number of hydrogens has to be added for the possible skeletons for a six C compound with a four C ring and no double bonds.
Concept Introduction:
The hydrocarbon is said to be a carbon atom bonded with hydrogen. The carbon atom contains four bonds. The bonds may be four single bonds or two single bonds and one double bond or one single bond and one double bond.
If the straight chain is branched, we get one type of hydrocarbon. If double bond is present, it restricts the rotation of the bond and forms cis and trans- hydrocarbons.

- A mixture of C7H12O2, C9H9OCl, biphenyl and acetone was put together in a gas chromatography tube. Please decide from the GC resutls which correspond to the peak for C7,C9 and biphenyl and explain the reasoning based on GC results.
