(a)
Interpretation:
The possible open-chain structures for the given molecular formula,
Concept Introduction:
Hydrocarbons:
Hydrocarbons contain only carbon and hydrogen atoms which are connected together by covalent bonds such as
Saturated hydrocarbons:
Alkanes are classified under saturated hydrocarbons whose carbon atoms are connected to each other by the carbon-carbon single bonds. The general molecular formula for linear alkanes is
Unsaturated hydrocarbons:
The unsaturated hydrocarbons can be classified further into alkenes and alkynes.
Alkenes:
Alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbon that must contain atleast one carbon-carbon double bond in it. The general molecular formula for alkenes is
The general structure of alkene is drawn here:
Alkynes:
Alkynes are also unsaturated hydrocarbon that must contain a carbon-carbon triple bond in it. The general molecular formula for linear alkanes is
The general structure of alkyne is shown here:
