Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Structural formulas for all
Concept Introduction:
- • Name the main chain: Find the longest carbon chain and name the chain according to the number of carbon atoms it contains; is also the root name.
- • Number the carbon atoms in the main chain: The carbons are numbered, in which the substituents must get lowest possible numbers.
- • Identify the substituents, and number each: The number at where substituents are present has to be noted. The substituents written as prefix.
- • Write the names as a single word: Use the hyphen to separate the numbers from the different prefix; commas to separate numbers. If two or more different substituents are present, arrange them in alphabetical order. If two or more identical substituents are present, use prefixes di-, tri-, tetra-, but this particular prefix should not be used for alphabetizing purpose.
Alkene:
The systematic name of alkenes are written by replacing “ane” of
Trans configuration: In trans configuration, groups present in the main chain are placed on opposite sides of the carbon-carbon double bond.
Cis configuration: In cis configuration, groups present in the main chain are placed on same sides of the carbon-carbon double bond.

Organic Chemistry
- For the following, you must draw an appropriate structure that has the chemical formula C5H7O2Cl with the indicated functional group(s) and/or property. In each case, identify any other functional groups in the molecule you draw, that were not indicated in the question. You may use Lewis or bond- line structures to draw your molecules. You may not use the same structure to answer more than 1 question. a) An acyclic molecule that cannot form hydrogen bonds with itself b) A tertiary chloride c) A cyclic etherarrow_forwardYou are teaching a class in organic chemistry to grade 12 students. Outline the differences in 3 physical properties between alkanes, alcohols, and carboxylic acids. Note: they all have the same hydrocarbon length.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_forward
- Draw a structural formula for the one constitutional isomer of the unbranched alkane C7H16 in which the longest carbon chain has 4 atoms. • You do not have to consider stereochemistry. • You do not have to explicitly draw H atoms. • In cases where there is more than one answer, just draw one.arrow_forward1. Considering compounds that have the same number of carbon atoms, explain why alkanes and cycloalkanes have different molecular formulas but alkenes and cycloalkanes have the same molecular formulas. 2. Draw the condensed or line-angle structure for an alkene with the formula C5H10. 3. Draw the condensed or line-angle structure for 4 more C5H10 isomers (2 additional alkenes and 2 cyclic isomers).arrow_forwardNatural gas and petroleum deposits make up the world’s largest source of alkanes. Refinement of petroleum followed by distillation produces fuels for vehicles where the fuels undergo combustion. However, not all fuels are judged as “good fuel”, some are “poor fuel”. Hence, the “octane number” was developed to determine the type of fuel. Why is the straight-chain alkane octane considered as poor fuel with an octane number = 0 and a branched-chain alkane 2,2,4-Trimethylpentane with an octane number = 100?arrow_forward
- Describe structural isomerism and the different types that exist. With the aid of diagrams use the molecular formulae C5H12 and C5H10 to explain structural isomerism in aliphatic alkanes and alkenesarrow_forwardAn alkene forms 2-methylpropane when catalytically reduced and 1,2-dichloro-2-methylpropane when treated with Cl₂. Draw the structural formula of the alkene. • You do not have to consider stereochemistry. • You do not have to explicitly draw H atoms. • In cases where there is more than one answer, just draw one. / √ [F ? ChemDoodlearrow_forwardDraw three cycloalkanes which are structural (constitutional) isomers of C6H12. At least one of these structures must be able to show cis/trans isomerism. Mark this example with an asterisk.arrow_forward
- The empirical formula of X is C3H5CIO If X is an optically alkanal, give the structural formula of X and draw this pair of enantiomers.Structural formula of X : If X has a C=C bond and a saturated OH group (i.e. The OH group does not attach to the C=C), give the structural formula of X if X shows cis-trans isomerism. Draw the pair of cis-trans isomers.Structural formula of X :arrow_forward1. a. Draw and name the five cycloalkane structures of formula C5H10. Can any of these structures give rise to geometric (cis-trans) isomerism? If so, show the cis and trans stereoisomers. b. Draw and name the eight cycloalkane structures of formula C6H12 that do not show geometric isomerism. c. Draw and name the four cycloalkanes of formula C6H12 that do have cis-trans isomers. 2. Each of the following descriptions applies to more than one alkane. In each case, draw and name two structures that match the description. (a) an isopropylheptane (b) a diethyldecane (c) a cis-diethylcyclohexane (d) a trans-dihalocyclopentane (e) a (2,3-dimethylpentyl)cycloalkane (f) a bicyclononane 3. 2. refer to the photo attached and answer the ff.3-33, 3-34arrow_forwardDone 5Ć 2.)
