Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The name of the given branched alkane has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Alkanes can be classified as-
- Straight-chain alkanes
- Branched-chain alkanes
(a)
Answer to Problem 16A
The name of the compound is 4,5-dimethylnonane.
Explanation of Solution
Here the parent chain is nonane and two methyl groups are attached to 4 and 5 position. So, the name of the compound is 4,5-dimethylnonane
(b)
Interpretation:
The name of the given branched alkane has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Alkanes are the saturated hydrocarbons which contain only C-H and C-C single bonds. The general formula of alkane is CnH2n+2. The simplest alkane among all alkanes is methane CH4.
Alkanes can be classified as-
- Straight-chain alkanes
- Branched-chain alkanes
(b)
Answer to Problem 16A
The name of the compound is 3,3,4,4-tetramethylheptane.
Explanation of Solution
Here the parent chain is heptane and two methyl groups are attached to 3rd carbon and other two methyl groups are attached to 4thcarbon.So, the name of the compound is 3,3,4,4-tetramethylheptane
The compound is 2,3,4-trimethylhexane
(c)
Interpretation:
The name of the given branched alkane has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Alkanes are the saturated hydrocarbons which contain only C-H and C-C single bonds. The general formula of alkane is CnH2n+2. The simplest alkane among all alkanes is methane CH4.
Alkanes can be classified as-
- Straight-chain alkanes
- Branched-chain alkanes
(c)
Answer to Problem 16A
The name of the compound is 3,4,5,5-tetramethyloctane.
Explanation of Solution
Here the parent chain is octane and two methyl groups are attached to 3 and 4 position and two methyl groups are attached to 5th carbon. So, the name of the compound is 3,4,5,5-tetramethyloctane
(d)

(d)
Answer to Problem 16A
The name of the compound is 2,3,4-trimethylhexane.
Explanation of Solution
Here the parent chain is hexane and three methyl groups are attached to 2, 3 and 4 position in the parent chain. So, the name of the compound is 2,3,4-trimethylhexane
