Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The number of hydrogen atoms in a saturated compound containing four carbon atoms is to be determined. The number of hydrogen atoms in a saturated compound containing four carbon atoms and one nitrogen atom is to be determined. The number of hydrogen atoms in a saturated compound containing four carbon atoms and two nitrogen atoms is to be determined. The effect of each nitrogen atom on the formula for the saturated compound is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The number of hydrogen atoms in a saturated compound containing carbon as the only non-hydrogen atom is given by
Nitrogen has a valency of three and forms three single bonds in a fully saturated compound.
(b)
Interpretation:
The number of hydrogen atoms in a saturated compound containing four carbon atoms is to be determined. The number of hydrogen atoms in a saturated compound containing four carbon atoms and one fluorine atom is to be determined. The number of hydrogen atoms in a saturated compound containing four carbon atoms and two fluorine atoms is to be determined. The effect of each fluorine atom on the formula for the saturated compound is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The number of hydrogen atoms in a saturated compound containing carbon as the only non-hydrogen atom is given by
Fluorine has a valency of one and forms a single bond in a fully saturated compound.

- 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
