Chapter 20, Problem 17A

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structural formulaof 2,3-dimethylpentane should be drawn.

Concept Introduction:

Alkanes are the saturated hydrocarbons which contain only C-H and C-C single bonds. The general formula of alkane is CnH2n+2. The simplest alkane among all alkanes is methane CH4.

Alkanes can be classified as-

  1. Straight-chain alkanes
  2. Branched-chain alkanes

Answer to Problem 17A

  World of Chemistry, 3rd edition, Chapter 20, Problem 17A , additional homework tip  1

Explanation of Solution

The given name of branched alkane is 2,3-dimethylpentane where pentane represents the parent carbon chain. For drawing the structure, firstly principal chain of five carbon atom is drawn and numbering is done. Then at position 2 and 3, methyl group is attached. After this, valency of each carbon is completed.
