Chapter 4, Problem 4.42AP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The isomers of alkene, ${\text{C}}_{\text{6}}{\text{H}}_{\text{12}}$ that form constitutional isomer and the one that gives mixture of isomers on reaction with $\text{HBr}$ is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Alkenes are the unsaturated class of organic compounds which have double bonds in their structure. The general formula of alkene is written as ${\text{C}}_{\text{n}}{\text{H}}_{\text{2n}}$. It is more reactive than alkanes which have only single bond in their structure. Constitutional isomers are compounds that have same molecular formula but different bond connectivity.
