Concept introduction:
The compounds that have the same molecular formula for atoms but different structures of compoundsdepending on the position of atoms are called isomers.
In chemical nomenclature, the
The parent chain is the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms.
The parent chain is numbered from that end that 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
For naming the cyclic organic compounds, the word “cyclo” is used as prefix.
For
In double bond or cyclic compounds, if two same
If the two functional groups are present on the different sides of the double bond or cyclic compound, the given compound can be labeled as Trans.
Cis-trans isomerism exists in the compounds in which similar groups are present on the adjacent carbon atoms.

- Draw structural formulas for possible isomers with the formula C3H6ClBr, and name each isomer.arrow_forwardGive the structures and IUPAC names of all constitutional isomers of C6H14. What is the structure of 3-ethyl-2,4,6-trimethyloctane? What is the structure of 3-ethyl-3-methylpentane?arrow_forwardNone of the following names follow IUPAC rules (formulas are provided to reduce ambiguity): 2-oxo-4-pentanol (C5H1002) 5-propyl-4-chloro-2-hexanone (C,H17CIO) N-propylethenamine (C5H11N) Choose one of these names, explain what is wrong with it, and write the correct IUPAC name of the compound.arrow_forward
- There are 18 isomeric alkanes of molecular formula C8H18. Draw and name any eight of them.arrow_forwardDraw all possible structure(s) and give the IUPAC systematic name(s) of an alkane or cycloalkane with the formula C8H18 that has only primary hydrogen atoms. Draw the structure(s).arrow_forwardName this compound: H₂C-CH₂-C=CH₂ CH₂ Name an isomer of this compound that has the following structure:arrow_forward
- What is the structure of a compound with the formula C7H14O that has an ether and cyclobutane ring, including its IUPAC name? In addition, what is the structure of the compound with the formula C7H14O that does NOT contain the functional groups: epoxide, ether, cycloalkane, alcohol, alkene. Indicate the functional groups used that are present in the structure made for this compound.arrow_forwardThe following is a structural diagram for penicillin G, an antibiotic compound with outstanding antibacterial activity. It is obtained from the liquid filtrate of molds. HO H H H C-C N- H Penicillin G can be described as an Organic Co -N- organic inorganic CH₂ H CH₂ -COOH compound. One functional group found in penicillin G is the ◆ grouparrow_forwardBy hand, draw all of the isomers with the molecular formula C4H9F using skeletal structures. Name each structure using IUPAC nomenclature rules.arrow_forward
- Organic compounds may have characteristic odors as well as other characteristic physical properties. For example, the distinct odor of the seashore at low tide results in part from the presence of dimethyl sulfide (CH3SCH3), a molecule with a similar structure to dimethyl ether (CH3OCH3). Ethanethiol (CH3CH2SH), also called mercaptan, is an isomer of dimethyl sulfide with a much less pleasant odor.The table lists four related compounds and their enthalpies of vaporization (ΔH°vap) in kJ/mol. Compound ΔH°vap (kJ/mol) CH3OCH3 23 CH3SCH3 28 CH3CH2SH 27.5 CH3CH2OH 42 Rank the following compounds in order of increasing strength of their intermolecular forces, given the ΔH°vap listed for each. Place the compound with the strongest intermolecular forces (IMFs) at the top of the list. (Strongest to weaknest). Why is ΔHºvap for CH3SCH3 greater than ΔHºvap for CH3OCH3? A. CH3OCH3 is more polar. B. CH3SCH3 has stronger dipole–dipole attractions. C. CH3OCH3 can form…arrow_forwardIn organic chemistry, is it only when naming cycloalkanes that you do not put a hyphen between the substituent and the parent ring?arrow_forwardDraw and name the eight cycloalkane structures of formula C6H12 that do not show geometric isomerism.arrow_forward
