Concept Introduction:
(b)
Interpretation:
The number of C atoms present in the longest chain of the molecule shown below needs to be deduced.
Concept Introduction:
Alkanes have a general formula, CnH2n+2where n denotes the number of C atoms. In the case of linear or branched alkanes the parent chain is the one which has the highest number of carbon atoms. The longest continuous chain of C atoms forms the base name of the compound.
