a.
Interpretation:
The structures of two cycloalkanes that are constitutional isomers with molecular formula
Concept Introduction:
Isomers:
The organic compound contains same molecular formula and different arrangement of atoms is termed as isomers. The isomers have different physical and chemical properties.
Constitutional Isomer:
Constitutional isomer has same molecular formula but they have different connectivity to each other. It is also known as structural isomers.

- How does the structure of a cycloalkane differ from that of a straight-chain or branched-chain alkane?arrow_forwardDistinguish between isomerism and resonance. Distinguish between structural and geometric isomerism. When writing the various structural isomers, the most difficult task is identifying which are different isomers and which are identical to a previously written structurethat is, which are compounds that differ only by the rotation of a carbon single bond. How do you distinguish between structural isomers and those that are identical? Alkenes and cycloalkanes are structural isomers of each other. Give an example of each using C4H8. Another common feature of alkenes and cycloalkanes is that both have restricted rotation about one or more bonds in the compound, so both can exhibit cis- trans isomerism. What is required for an alkene or cycloalkane to exhibit cis-trans isomerism? Explain the difference between cis and trans isomers. Alcohols and ethers are structural isomers of each other, as are aldehydes and ketones. Give an example of each to illustrate. Which functional group in Table 21-4 can be structural isomers of carboxylic acids? What is optical isomerism? What do you look for to determine whether an organic compound exhibits optical isomerism? 1-Bromo-1-chloroethane is optically active whereas 1-bromo-2-chloroethane is not optically active. Explain.arrow_forwardWhat functional group distinguishes each of the following hydrocarbon derivatives? a. halohydrocarbons b. alcohols c. ethers d. aldehydes e. ketones f. carboxylic acids g. esters h. amines Give examples of each functional group. What prefix or suffix is used to name each functional group? What are the bond angles in each? Describe the bonding in each functional group. What is the difference between a primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohol? For the functional groups in ah, when is a number required to indicate the position of the functional group? Carboxylic acids are often written as RCOOH. What does COOH indicate and what does R indicate? Aldehydes are sometimes written as RCHO. What does CHO indicate?arrow_forward
- What is the difference in bonding and in general molecular formula between an alkene and a cycloalkane with the same number of carbon atoms?arrow_forward4. Draw possible structures for isomeric compounds with the molecular formula C6H10O that contain the following: a) an alkene b) a ketone c) an alcohol and a ringarrow_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
- 1) In chemistry, isomers do not necessarily share similar chemical or physical properties. Two main forms of isomerism are constitutional isomer and stereoisomer. Draw and name all the SIX (6) molecules for i. CSH10 (Cycloalkanes) ii. C3H10 (Alkenes)arrow_forwardWhich molecular formula corresponds to a straight-chain alkane? A) C₄H₆ B) C₄H₈ C) C₅H₁₀ D) C₅H₁₂ E) C₆H₁₂arrow_forward1. Draw out 3 possible condensed isomers of an alcohol which has a molecular formula C5H12O. Name each of these isomers by IUPAC system.arrow_forward
