Interpretation:
The reason for use of numbers in the IUPAC name of unbranched
Concept introduction:
The hydrocarbon compounds contain compound that are made up of only hydrogen and carbon atoms. Hydrocarbon compounds that contains multiple bond(s) are said to be
Explanation of Solution
The numbering in the IUPAC name of the molecule indicates the position of
For unbranched alkenes and alkynes, the numbering is used to indicate the position of double and triple bonds respectively in the compound. The numbering of the compound is done in such a way that double and triple bond possess lowest number in the chain. For example:
For unbranched alkanes, there is no need to assign numbering as the whole compound contains only single bonded compound. For example:
