Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The isoprene units in the given compounds are to be shown and each of them as per their isoprene units are to be classified.

Concept introduction:

Essential oils are mixtures of odoriferous compounds that are extracted from plants by heating or steam distillation. These essential oils have important chemical composition of hydrocarbons called terpenes and oxygen-containing compounds called terpenoids.

A single isoprene unit consists of 5-carbon atoms with double bonds, and its chemical formula is 2methyl1,3butadiene. The structural formulae of isoprene and its single isoprene unit is as follows:
