Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The suffix that is used to name the given compound has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
All the molecules have their unique names. These names must be known in order to communicate. But remembering all the chemical names is impossible as there are many numbers of molecules. To avoid this, the
Stereoisomerism | Substituents | Parent | Unsaturation | Functional Group |
Stereoisomerism indicate if the considered molecule has any stereocenters are present (R,S) and if double bond is present are cis/trans.
The groups that are connected to the main carbon chain is known as substituents.
The longest carbon chain is known as the parent.
Unsaturation indicates that if any triple or double bonds are present in the molecule.
Functional group is the one after which the considered compound is being named.
Functional Group | Class of compound | Suffix |
![]() | Ester | -oate |
![]() | -one | |
![]() | -al | |
![]() | -oic acid | |
![]() | Alcohol | -ol |
![]() | -amine |

- Can you please help me and explain how I would find a mechanism consistent, using my results. Help with number 5.arrow_forwardThe conversion of (CH3)3CI to (CH3)2C=CH2 can occur by either a one-step or a two-step mechanism, as shown in Equations [1] and [2]. [1] + I + H₂Ö: :OH [2] q slow :OH + I¯ H₂Ö: a. What rate equation would be observed for the mechanism in Equation [1]? b. What rate equation would be observed for the mechanism in Equation [2]? c. What is the order of each rate equation (i.e., first, second, and so forth)? d. How can these rate equations be used to show which mechanism is the right one for this reaction? e. Assume Equation [1] represents an endothermic reaction and draw an energy diagram for the reaction. Label the axes, reactants, products, Ea, and AH°. Draw the structure for the transition state. f. Assume Equation [2] represents an endothermic reaction and that the product of the rate-determining step is higher in energy than the reactants or products. Draw an energy diagram for this two-step reaction. Label the axes, reactants and products for each step, and the Ea and AH° for each…arrow_forwardSteps and explanations.
