Alkanes and Cycloalkanes

Alkanes are saturated organic compounds which are made up of C and H atoms. Alkanes have the general formula of CnH2n+2. Alkane contains sp3 hybridized carbon atoms with four sigmas (σ) bonds & every hydrogen atom is connected with one of the carbon atoms. The size of the alkane could be determined by the number of carbon atoms located in it.

Question

Calculate the maximum number of possible stereoisomers of your molecule using the following formula: Maximum number of possible stereoisomers = 2n (where n= the number of chiral carbons in your molecule). This calculation does not include E- or Z- isomers for any compounds containing double bonds Type or using a computer program "draw" the possible stereoisomers of the molecule. Note that E-, Z- isomers of each stereoisomer are also possible and would not be accounted for by the formula above; draw any E- or Z- isomers.
