Chapter 2, Problem 73IP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Similarities and differences in the proposed and molecular structure of cholesterol have to be compared and the functional group present in both structures has to be identified.

Concept introduction:

Functional group: A group of atoms that gives the behavior of the chemical compounds.

Alcohol: It is an organic compound where it contains at least one $-OH$ group. It is represented as $ROH$.

 Alkene is hydrocarbons with $C=C$(double bond).

Concept introduction:

Functional group: A group of atoms that gives the behavior of the chemical compounds.

Alcohol: It is an organic compound where it contains at least one $-OH$ group. It is represented as $ROH$.

 Amides are an organic compound where it contains ${\text{-CO-NH}}_{\text{2}}$ as the functional group.

 Ether is an organic compound which contains $R\text{'}-O-R$ as the functional group, where $R\text{'}andR$ alkyl groups are.

 Alkene is hydrocarbons with $C=C$(double bond).

Aromatic Compounds: Compounds that are planar, cyclic and having $\left(4n+2\right)\pi$ electrons are known as aromatic compounds.
