Introduction to Organic Chemistry
The field of chemistry which deals with the studies of reactions, structures, and properties of organic compounds that comprise carbon bonded through covalent bonding is organic chemistry. The studies regarding the structure of organic compounds could be…
Vinyl Group
Vinyl group is the name given to the functional group of -CH=CH2. It can be seen as an ethene molecule with one less hydrogen in number. Hence it is also called as ethenyl group at times.
Straight Chain Hydrocarbons
The requirement to identify each compound needs a richer number of words than informative prefixes like n and iso. The identification of organic molecules is made easier by the use of systematic nomenclature schemes. The organic chemistry nomenclature ha…
Unsaturated Hydrocarbon
Following are few examples of alkenes with their general molecular as well as their structural formulas:
Conjugated Compounds in Organic Chemistry
The delocalization of electrons in a molecule is called conjugation in organic chemistry. This delocalisation process of electrons leads to the shortenings or elongations of chemical bonds, but at the same time it causes changes in the chemical propertie…
Alpha Carbon And Alpha Protons
The carbon directly attached to the functional group in an organic molecule is referred to as the alpha carbon and the hydrogen attached to an alpha carbon are termed as the alpha hydrogens or alpha protons. These alpha carbon atoms and alpha hydrogen at…

Chapter 6, Problem 8E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The general formulas for alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes are to be defined.

Concept introduction:

The compound that consists of carbon atoms is considered an organic compound and the study of these carbon consisting compounds is known as organic chemistry.

A compound devoid of any carbon atoms is considered an inorganic compound and the study of these compounds is known as inorganic chemistry.

An organic compound is considered to be a hydrocarbon if it consists only carbon and hydrogen atoms. The atoms in hydrocarbon are linked by single, double, or triple bond.
