Chapter 4, Problem 4.43AP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The isomers of alkene ${\text{C}}_{\text{6}}{\text{H}}_{\text{12}}$ with five carbon atoms in a chain in increasing order of heat of formation are to be arranged.

Concept introduction:

Alkenes are the unsaturated class of organic compounds which have double bonds in their structure. The general formula of alkene is written as ${\text{C}}_{\text{n}}{\text{H}}_{\text{2n}}$. It is more reactive than alkanes which have only single bond in their structure. Heat of formation is defined as heat released when a compound is formed from its elements.
