(i)
Interpretation: It should be identified for the following compound which is an (non-cyclic) alkane.
Concept introduction: The structure of the
(1) The parent name give the information about the longest chain of the carbon atoms for alkane.
(2) The prefix written in the systematic name tells about the side chains and their positions.
(3) Numbering should be given according to side chain, so that carbon atom having side chain get a least numbering.
(4) If molecule has more than one side chain which are different then name should be written alphabetically.
(ii)
Interpretation: It should be identified for the following compound which is an (non-cyclic) alkane.
Concept introduction: The structure of the alkanes can be drawn with the help of their systematic name.
(1) The parent name give the information about the longest chain of the carbon atoms for alkane.
(2) The prefix written in the systematic name tells about the side chains and their positions.
(3) Numbering should be given according to side chain, so that carbon atom having side chain get a least numbering.
(4) If molecule has more than one side chain which are different then name should be written alphabetically.

- A mixture of C7H12O2, C9H9OCl, biphenyl and acetone was put together in a gas chromatography tube. Please decide from the GC resutls which correspond to the peak for C7,C9 and biphenyl and explain the reasoning based on GC results. Eliminate unnecessary peaks from Gas Chromatography results.arrow_forwardIs the molecule chiral, meso, or achiral? CI .CH3 H₂C CIarrow_forwardPLEASE HELP ! URGENT!arrow_forward
