Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The systematic name for all
Concept introduction:
Any organic molecule can be named by using certain rules given by IUPAC (International Union for Pure and applied chemistry). IUPAC name consists of three parts in major namely Prefix suffix and root word.
Prefix represents the substituent present in the molecule and its position in the root name.
Suffix denotes the presence of functional group if any in the molecule. It can be an
Root word represents the longest continuous carbon skeleton of the organic molecule.
Nomenclature of organic molecules: The particular functional group connected into a primary carbon atom, while secondary and tertiary groups in (C2 and C3) place of carbon atoms it is called primary, secondary and tertiary structures.

- 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_forwardDistinguish between isomerism and resonance. Distinguish between structural and geometric isomerism. When writing the various structural isomers, the most difficult task is identifying which are different isomers and which are identical to a previously written structurethat is, which are compounds that differ only by the rotation of a carbon single bond. How do you distinguish between structural isomers and those that are identical? Alkenes and cycloalkanes are structural isomers of each other. Give an example of each using C4H8. Another common feature of alkenes and cycloalkanes is that both have restricted rotation about one or more bonds in the compound, so both can exhibit cis- trans isomerism. What is required for an alkene or cycloalkane to exhibit cis-trans isomerism? Explain the difference between cis and trans isomers. Alcohols and ethers are structural isomers of each other, as are aldehydes and ketones. Give an example of each to illustrate. Which functional group in Table 21-4 can be structural isomers of carboxylic acids? What is optical isomerism? What do you look for to determine whether an organic compound exhibits optical isomerism? 1-Bromo-1-chloroethane is optically active whereas 1-bromo-2-chloroethane is not optically active.

- draw structural formulas for all isomeric alkanes with molecular formula C7H16. Predict which isomer has the lowest boiling point and which has the highest boiling point.arrow_forwardThere are 18 isomeric alkanes of molecular formula C8H18. Draw and name any eight of them.arrow_forwardName and draw structural formulas for all alkenes with the molecular formula C5H10. As you draw these alkenes, remember that cis and trans isomers are different compounds and must be counted separatelyarrow_forward
- Draw and name all possible skeletal isomers of compounds having the molecular formula C6H14 . All compounds are alkanes (carbon atoms are connected by single bonds only).arrow_forwardExcluding compounds that contain substituents on the rings, draw structures for the following bicyclic isomers of C6H10. One spiro alkane with the formula C6H10. One bridged alkane with the formula C6H10.arrow_forwardWrite the condensed structural formulas for two alkenes and one alkyne that all have the molecular formula C6H10.arrow_forward
