CH2=CHClThe above compound can exist in the form of a. a cis-isomer only b. a trans-isomer only c. both a cis- and a trans-isomer d. neither a cis- nor a trans-isomerarrow_forwardCyclopentane has a higher boiling point than pentane even though both compounds have the same number of carbons (49 °C vs. 36 °C). Can you suggest a reason for this phenomenon?arrow_forwardWhat is the molecular formula of a hydrocarbon that contains 5 carbons, one ring, and one bond?arrow_forward
- Q7arrow_forwardIs it possible for a motor fuel to have a negative octane rating? Explain.arrow_forwardWhat are aromatic hydrocarbons? Benzene exhibits resonance. Explain. What are the bond angles in benzene? Give a detailed description of the bonding in benzene. The electrons in benzene are delocalized, while the electrons in simple alkenes and alkynes are localized. Explain the difference.arrow_forward
