(a)
Interpretation: To write the next highest homolog for the given compound.
Concept Introduction: When the compounds vary in the length of the carbon chain but have the same general formula, this series of compounds is termed a homogenous series.
(a)
Answer to Problem 129A
The next highest homolog for 1-butene is 1-pentene.
Explanation of Solution
1-butene is a hydrocarbon that is unsaturated in nature. It consists of four carbon atoms having a double bond at the first carbon atom.
The next highest homolog of 1-butene is 1-pentene, i.e., a five-carbon atom continuous chain having a double bond at the first carbon.
(b)
Interpretation: To write the next highest homolog for the given compound.
Concept Introduction: When the compounds vary in the length of the carbon chain but have the same general formula, this series of compounds is termed a homogenous series.
(b)
Answer to Problem 129A
The next highest homolog for cyclooctane is cyclononane.
Explanation of Solution
Cyclooctane is a cyclic hydrocarbon that consists of a ring containing eight carbon atoms.
So, the next highest homolog for cyclooctane is cyclononane which is a nine-carbon atom cyclic ring.
(c)
Interpretation: To write the next highest homolog for the given compound.
Concept Introduction: When the compounds vary in the length of the carbon chain but have the same general formula, this series of compounds is termed a homogenous series.
(c)
Answer to Problem 129A
The next highest homolog of pentane is hexane.
Explanation of Solution
Pentane is a hydrocarbon that is saturated in nature. It consists of a long continuous chain of five carbon atoms.
So, the next highest homolog for pentane is hexane i.e., a long continuous chain of six carbon atoms.
(d)
Interpretation: To write the next highest homolog for the given compound.
Concept Introduction: When the compounds vary in the length of the carbon chain but have the same general formula, this series of compounds is termed a homogenous series.
(d)
Answer to Problem 129A
The next highest homolog of nonane is decane.
Explanation of Solution
Nonane is a hydrocarbon that is saturated in nature. It consists of a long continuous chain of nine carbon atoms.
So, the next highest homolog for nonane is decane i.e., a long continuous chain of ten carbon atoms.
