Introduction to Organic Chemistry
The field of chemistry which deals with the studies of reactions, structures, and properties of organic compounds that comprise carbon bonded through covalent bonding is organic chemistry. The studies regarding the structure of organic compounds could be…
Vinyl Group
Vinyl group is the name given to the functional group of -CH=CH2. It can be seen as an ethene molecule with one less hydrogen in number. Hence it is also called as ethenyl group at times.
Straight Chain Hydrocarbons
The requirement to identify each compound needs a richer number of words than informative prefixes like n and iso. The identification of organic molecules is made easier by the use of systematic nomenclature schemes. The organic chemistry nomenclature ha…
Unsaturated Hydrocarbon
Following are few examples of alkenes with their general molecular as well as their structural formulas:
Conjugated Compounds in Organic Chemistry
The delocalization of electrons in a molecule is called conjugation in organic chemistry. This delocalisation process of electrons leads to the shortenings or elongations of chemical bonds, but at the same time it causes changes in the chemical propertie…
Alpha Carbon And Alpha Protons
The carbon directly attached to the functional group in an organic molecule is referred to as the alpha carbon and the hydrogen attached to an alpha carbon are termed as the alpha hydrogens or alpha protons. These alpha carbon atoms and alpha hydrogen at…

Chapter 15, Problem 15.7P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structural feature that is associated with each type of hydrocarbon: alkane, cycloalkane, alkene and alkyne has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Hydrocarbons:

The compounds which contains only carbon and hydrogen atoms bonding together are said to be hydrocarbons.

Types of Hydrocarbons:

Hydrocarbons are mainly classified into four groups:

  1. 1. Alkanes
  2. 2. Alkenes
  3. 3. Alkynes
  4. 4. Cyclic hydrocarbons.

Cyclic hydrocarbons may be aromatic or aliphatic.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The general formula for alkanes, cycloalkanes, alkenes and alkynes has to be given.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The hydrocarbons that are considered to be saturated has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Saturation:

The compounds for which addition of more hydrogens is not possible are said to be saturated.

Unsaturation:

The compounds for which addition of more hydrogens is possible are said to be unsaturated.
