Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The structural formula for propanal and propanone is to be written.
Concept introduction:
The structural formula is a simplified model that represents the arrangement of atoms and bonds in a molecule.
In the IUPAC name of an un-substituted organic compound, the prefix represents the number of carbon atoms in the parent chain and the suffix represents the
When ‘ane’ and ‘al’ come together, the ‘e’ from ‘ane’ is cancelled out.
The generic structure for an aldehyde is as follows:
Here,
The suffix for a ketone is ‘one’. The generic structure for a ketone is as follows:
In a ketone, both
The general format to name an un-substituted ketone is as follows:
When ‘ane’ and ‘one’ come together, the ‘e’ from ‘ane’ is canceled out.
