Interpretation:The structural formula of 3-methylpentanal needs to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
(a)
Answer to Problem 2RQ
Explanation of Solution
The general formula for an aldehyde is R-CHO.
And the general formula for a ketone is R-COOR’.
Where R and R’ are alkyl group which may or may not be the same.
Therefore, the structural formula for 3-methylpentanal is
(b)
Interpretation:The structural formula of 3-methylpentanal needs to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:Ketone: A hydrocarbon derivativecontaining the carbonyl group bonded to twocarbon atoms.
Aldehyde: A hydrocarbon derivativecontaining the carbonylgroup at the end of thehydrocarbon chain.
(b)
Answer to Problem 2RQ
Explanation of Solution
The general formula for an aldehyde is RCHO.
And, the general formula for a ketone is RCOOR’.
Where R and R’ are alkyl group which may or may not be the same.
Therefore, the structural formula for 3-methyl-2-pentanone is
(c)
Interpretation:Thestructural formula of methyl phenyl ketone needs to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:Ketone: A hydrocarbon derivativecontaining the carbonyl group bonded to twocarbon atoms.
Aldehyde: A hydrocarbon derivativecontaining the carbonylgroup at the end of thehydrocarbon chain.
