The structural formulas are to be represented for the given organic compounds. Concept introduction: The structural formula of a chemical compound consists of the graphic representation of the molecular structure and arrangement of the atoms. Compound contains chemical bonding between the atoms or molecule. In the compound, lines are used in the bonded atoms. Alkanes are organic compounds containing single bonds only. An alkane can be a linear or a branched chain. Branched chain alkanes contain substituents and are named by selecting the longest chain. The longest chain is termed as the parent chain, which is then numbered from the end that the substituted carbons get a lower number. The name and number of substituents are then prefixed to the name of the parent chain. In chemical nomenclature, the IUPAC nomenclature of organic chemistry is a systematic method of naming organic chemical compounds as recommended by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) The parent chain is the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms. The parent chain is numbered from that end which is closest to the substituent. If the same substituent occurs more than once, the location of each point on which the substituent occurs is given. If there are two or more different substituents, they are listed in alphabetical order using the base name. The name of the alkane is derived from the parent chain with a prefix of the substituent along with their position on the chain.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structural formulas are to be represented for the given organic compounds.

Concept introduction:

The structural formula of a chemical compound consists of the graphic representation of the molecular structure and arrangement of the atoms.

Compound contains chemical bonding between the atoms or molecule.

In the compound, lines are used in the bonded atoms.

Alkanes are organic compounds containing single bonds only. An alkane can be a linear or a branched chain. Branched chain alkanes contain substituents and are named by selecting the longest chain.

The longest chain is termed as the parent chain, which is then numbered from the end that the substituted carbons get a lower number. The name and number of substituents are then prefixed to the name of the parent chain.

In chemical nomenclature, the IUPAC nomenclature of organic chemistry is a systematic method of naming organic chemical compounds as recommended by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC)

The parent chain is the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms.

The parent chain is numbered from that end which is closest to the substituent.

If the same substituent occurs more than once, the location of each point on which the substituent occurs is given.

If there are two or more different substituents, they are listed in alphabetical order using the base name.

The name of the alkane is derived from the parent chain with a prefix of the substituent along with their position on the chain.

A molecule shows peaks at 1379, 1327, 1249, 739 cm-1. Draw a diagram of the energy levels for such a molecule. Draw arrows for the possible transitions that could occur for the molecule. In the diagram imagine exciting an electron, what are its various options for getting back to the ground state? What process would promote radiation less decay? What do you expect for the lifetime of an electron in the T1 state? Why is phosphorescence emission weak in most substances? What could you do to a sample to enhance the likelihood that phosphorescence would occur over radiationless decay?
