Interpretation: Complete structural formulas for the straight-chain
Concept Introduction: When more than 2 Carbon atoms are connected like the links of a chain, they are called straight-chain alkanes.
Answer to Problem 1SP
Structural formula for the straight-chain alkane having 5 Carbon atoms
Structural formula for the straight-chain alkane having 6 Carbon atoms
Explanation of Solution
Given Information: Straight-chain alkanes with 5 and 6 Carbon atoms.
Draw five and six Carbon atoms in a row, then to show Carbon-Carbon bonds, they should be put in lines.
Carbon with 5 atoms Carbon with 6 atoms
C-C-C-C-C
C-C-C-C-C-C
Enough covalent bonds are to be added to give each Carbon a total of 4 bonds.
Finally, add Hydrogen to fill out the Carbon-Hydrogen bonds.
Carbon with 5 atoms Carbon with 6 atoms
