Chapter A, Problem A.1P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The description of the molecule shown, having G as a generic substituent, is to be written.

Concept introduction:

An alkane is said to be substituted if a hydrogen atom of the alkane is replaced by another atom or group of atoms. The atom or group of atoms which replaces the hydrogen atom is called a substituent. It is shown by G, which means a generic substituent.

Answer to Problem A.1P

The given molecule is a substituted ethane.

Explanation of Solution

The given molecule is:

EBK ORGANIC CHEMISTRY: PRINCIPLES AND M, Chapter A, Problem A.1P , additional homework tip  1

In this molecule, there are two carbon atoms in the straight chain. Hence, the alkane must be ethane CH3-CH3. A generic substituent G has replaced one hydrogen atom of ethane Hence, the given molecule is a substituted ethane.

Conclusion

The given molecule is a substituted ethane.

Answer to Problem A.1P

The given molecule is a substituted pentane.

Explanation of Solution

The given molecule is:

EBK ORGANIC CHEMISTRY: PRINCIPLES AND M, Chapter A, Problem A.1P , additional homework tip  2

In this molecule, there are five carbon atoms in the straight chain. Hence, the alkane must be pentane CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH3. A generic substituent G has replaced one hydrogen atom of pentane. Hence, the given molecule is a substituted pentane.

Conclusion

The given molecule is a substituted pentane.
