Answer to Problem 9E
The alkane
Explanation of Solution
Alkanes are the compounds with general formula,
The structure of the alkane is
In the compound, the carbon chain consists of four carbon atoms, therefore the word root is but.
The rule of naming an alkane according to IUPAC is
Therefore, the IUPAC name of the compound,
The name of the alkane
(b)
Interpretation:
The name for the alkane,
Concept introduction:
Alkanes are hydrocarbons that have general formula as
They are known as saturated hydrocarbons as all the four valances of carbon are satisfied by four atoms, which may be of same or different elements.

Answer to Problem 9E
The alkane
Explanation of Solution
Alkanes are the compounds with general formula,
The structure of the alkane is
In the compound, the carbon chain consists of six carbon atoms, therefore the word root is hex.
The rule of naming an alkane according to IUPAC is
Therefore, the IUPAC name of the compound,
The name of the alkane
(c)
Interpretation:
The name for the alkane,
Concept introduction:
Alkanes are hydrocarbons that have general formula as
They are known as saturated hydrocarbons as their all four vacancies are satisfied by four different atoms, which may be of same or different elements, therefore the class of hydrocarbons having single bond is alkanes.
