Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The structure of the incorrectly named compound should be determined along with the correct name of the compound.
2-ethyl-3-methyl-5-isopropyl hexane
Concept Introduction:
Compounds consist of carbon and hydrogen is known as hydrocarbons.
Rules of naming saturated and
- First choose the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms known as parent chain.
- The numbering of parent chain should be done in a way that the substituents, double bond and triple bond get the lowest number.
- In case of
alkene , “ene” is used at the end of the name and in case ofalkyne , “yne” is used at the end of the name. - The appropriate name should be given to every alkyl group and denote its position on the parent chain with the number.
- The alkyl groups are written in alphabetical order.
(b)
Interpretation:
The structure of the incorrectly named compound should be determined along with the correct name of the compound.
3-methyl-4-isopropyl pentane
Concept Introduction:
Compounds consist of carbon and hydrogen is known as hydrocarbons.
Rules of naming saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons are:
- First choose the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms known as parent chain.
- The numbering of parent chain should be done in a way that the substituents, double bond and triple bond get the lowest number.
- In case of alkene, “ene” is used at the end of the name and in case of alkyne, “yne” is used at the end of the name.
- The appropriate name should be given to every alkyl group and denote its position on the parent chain with the number.
- The alkyl groups are written in alphabetical order.
(c)
Interpretation:
The structure of the incorrectly named compound should be determined along with the correct name of the compound.
