Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The IUPAC name of the given alkane has to be determined.
Concept introduction:
On naming the alkanes,
- The longest continuous carbon should be numbered, so that the main chain can be identified.
- Number the main chain beginning at the end nearer to the first branch.
- Identify and number the substituents.
- Write the name as one word.
Carbon can be classified into four types; they are primary (has one other carbon attached), secondary (has two other carbon attached), tertiary (has three other carbon attached) and quaternary (four other carbon attached.)
(b)
Interpretation:
The IUPAC name of the given alkane has to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Alkanes are hydrocarbon that has only single bond.
On naming the alkanes,
- The longest continuous carbon should be numbered, so that the main chain can be identified.
- Number the main chain beginning at the end nearer to the first branch.
- Identify and number the substituents.
- Write the name as one word.
Carbon can be classified into four types; they are primary (has one other carbon attached), secondary (has two other carbon attached), tertiary (has three other carbon attached) and quaternary (four other carbon attached.)
