Answer to Problem A.1P
The given molecule is a substituted ethane.
Explanation of Solution
The given molecule is:
In this molecule, there are two carbon atoms in the straight chain. Hence, the alkane must be ethane
The given molecule is a substituted ethane.
(b)
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 pentane.
Explanation of Solution
The given molecule is:
In this molecule, there are five carbon atoms in the straight chain. Hence, the alkane must be pentane
The given molecule is a substituted pentane.
