The compound,
(b)
Interpretation:
The alkane pentane is to be classified as normal alkane or a branched alkane.
Concept introduction:
Alkanes are acyclic saturated hydrocarbons. They are also known as the paraffin. The alkanes contain singly bonded carbon atoms and hydrogen atoms. The alkanes have general formula
Answer to Problem 11.28E
The compound, pentane is a normal alkane.
Explanation of Solution
The alkane is shown below.
Figure 2
Normal alkanes have linear structure and have no alkyl substituents attached to it. The above compound, pentane has linear structure and has no alkyl substituents. Therefore, it is a normal alkane.
The compound, pentane is a normal alkane.
(c)
Interpretation:
The alkane butane is to be classified as normal alkane or a branched alkane.
Concept introduction:
Alkanes are acyclic saturated hydrocarbons. They are also known as the paraffin. The alkanes contain singly bonded carbon atoms and hydrogen atoms. The alkanes have general formula
Answer to Problem 11.28E
The compound, butane is a normal alkane.
Explanation of Solution
The alkane is shown below.
Figure 3
Normal alkanes have linear structure and have no alkyl substituents attached to it. The above compound, butane has linear structure and has no alkyl substituents. Therefore, it is a normal alkane.
The compound, butane is a normal alkane.
(d)
Interpretation:
The alkane pentane is to be classified as normal alkane or a branched alkane.
Concept introduction:
Alkanes are acyclic saturated hydrocarbons. They are also known as the paraffin. The alkanes contain singly bonded carbon atoms and hydrogen atoms. The alkanes have general formula
Answer to Problem 11.28E
The compound, pentane is a normal alkane.
Explanation of Solution
The alkane is shown below.
Figure 4
Normal alkanes have linear structure and have no alkyl substituents attached to it. The above compound, pentane has linear structure and has no alkyl substituents. Therefore, it is a normal alkane.
The compound, pentane is a normal alkane.
(e)
