Interpretation:
The structural formula of a compounds of molecular formula
Concept introduction:
A methylene group is a
Each carbon atom can, at the most, form four bonds. Each chlorine and hydrogen atom forms one bond.
In the structural formula, when all the four carbon atoms are present as methylene groups, there will be four
If there is no methylene group in the structural formula, then there will be methyl

- What is the meaning of the term tertiary (3) when it is used to classify alcohols? Draw a structural formula for the one tertiary (3) alcohol with the molecular formula C4H10O.arrow_forwardDetermine a molecular formula, e.g. CH4, from the line structure below. Specify elements in the following order: C, H, others(in alphabetical order). Example: C4H7ClOS Molecular formulaarrow_forwardDetermine a molecular formula, e.g. CH4, from the line structure below.

- Two compounds with the formula CH3 ¬ CH “ N ¬ CH3 are known. What two compounds have this formula?arrow_forwardStructural Isomers: Alkanes One of the reasons for the complexity of carbon compounds is that it can bond (catenate) with itself. Oils are mostly made up of hydrocarbons, for 'saturated' compounds, these obey the formula CnH2n+2. The empirical formula (unlike benzene) will vary with n. Now we have established C is tetrahedral, how many structural (skeletal) isomers can we find for n=6, hexane C6H14 ? 1) Sketch all the isomers. What procedure did you use to make sure you didn’t miss any ? Do you think you could you do this now for heptane C7H16 ?! (Hint: 9 different ‘skeletal’ topologies) Note the number of possible isomers increases in highly exponential way. C10 – 75 isomers C15 – 4,347 isomers C20 - 366,319 isomers !!

Near which of these values would you predict the bond length of C2 to lie? Is the experimentally observed value, 1.31 Å, consistent with your prediction?arrow_forward
- The molecular formula of the following compound is C H Harrow_forwardGiven below are condensed structural formulas derived from the same molecular formula (C,H14). Identify which pair represents structural isomers, that is, different molecules. CH3 CH3 CH, CH3 CH, CH, CH-CH3 CH, CH-CH-CH3 CH3 CH, CH-CH,-CH2 CH3 CH, CH-CH CH, CH3 CH3 A and C O Cand D O Band D O D and Aarrow_forwardStructural Isomers: In the next part you will learn a little about structural isomers and how to draw them. Structural isomers are compounds with the same molecular formula, but different bonding arrangements or connectivities. In other words, the atoms are connected in a different order. For example, there are 2 different compounds with the molecular formula C4H10. They are given below: H H-C- H -H H H HHH H- H H-C -H Η ΗΗ H H Do you see how the atoms are bonded in a different order in the 2 structures? So they are structural isomers. C3H12 Find three different molecular structures, isomers, with this formula. (Hint: Remember the C rule where every C atom needs to have 4 bonds.) C2H60 Find two different molecules with this formula. (Hint: What are the 2 ways you can C5H10 How many structural isomers can you find for this formula? (Hint: Notice that 2 H atoms have been removed. This means that there is EITHER 1 double bond OR there is a ring structure.) Try to provide at least 4…arrow_forward
