Concept explainers
Interpretation: The number of elements of unsaturation implied by the molecular formula
Concept introduction: The compounds that have double bond or triple bond are called unsaturated compounds.
The compounds having same molecular formula and different structural arrangement of the atoms are called isomers of that compound. Isomers are of two types; structural isomers and stereoisomer. The Structural isomers can be chain isomer, position isomer and

Complete the table by stating the systematic names and drawing the structural formulae of THREE structural isomers of C3H$Cl. Systematic Name Structural Formula b) A chemical test can be performed quickly in a school laboratory to distinguish between cyclohexanol and 1-methylcyclohexanol. Identify the reagent used in this test and describe the expected observations.arrow_forward
- Determine whether the following formula is exclusive for aliphatic alkanes, exclusive for cycloalkanes or can be either of them or it can also be neither of them. Consider the the possibility of isomerism. C7H14 C6H14 C7H15 C6H12 C8H16 C5H12 C2H6 C2H4 C4H9 C3H8arrow_forwardCompounds with two carbonyl groups are named as alkane diones, for example: R 2,3-butanedione The compound above is an artificial flavor added to microwave popcorn and movie-theater popcorn to simulate the butter flavor. Interestingly, this very same compound is also known to contribute to body odor. Name the following compounds: cyclohexane-1,3-dione cycloheptane-1,4-dione gily nonane-2,8-dionearrow_forward1. Considering compounds that have the same number of carbon atoms, explain why alkanes and cycloalkanes have different molecular formulas but alkenes and cycloalkanes have the same molecular formulas. 2. Draw the condensed or line-angle structure for an alkene with the formula C5H10. 3. Draw the condensed or line-angle structure for 4 more C5H10 isomers (2 additional alkenes and 2 cyclic isomers).arrow_forward
