Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The molecular formula of propane, cyclobutane, and methane is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The molecular formula of a compound represents the number and type of atoms present in that compound.
The generic formula for
Here,
The generic formula for aliphatic cyclic compounds or cycloalkanes is as follows:
Here,
In the case of un-substituted hydrocarbons, the prefix determined the number of carbon atoms while the suffix represents the type of hydrocarbon. The suffix for an alkane is ‘ane’, the suffix for

Introductory Chemistry: An Active Learning Approach
- Summarize the nomenclature rules for alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and aromatic compounds. Correct the following false statements regarding nomenclature of hydrocarbons. a. The root name for a hydrocarbon is based on the shortest continuous chain of carbon atoms. b. The suffix used to name all hydrocarbons is -ane. c. Substituent groups are numbered so as to give the largest numbers possible. d. No number is required to indicate the positions of double or triple bonds in alkenes and alkynes. e. Substituent groups get the lowest number possible in alkenes and alkynes. f. The ortho- term in aromatic hydrocarbons indicates the presence of two substituent groups bonded to carbon- 1 and carbon-3 in benzene.arrow_forwardHow does the structure of a cycloalkane differ from that of a straight-chain or branched-chain alkane?arrow_forwardWhat is the difference in bonding and in general molecular formula between an alkene and a cycloalkane with the same number of carbon atoms?arrow_forward
