Chapter 3.1, Problem 7P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structure and name of the compound with molecular formula ${\text{C}}_{\text{5}}{\text{H}}_{\text{12}}$ with one tertiary carbon has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Any organic molecule can be named by using certain rules given by IUPAC (International Union for Pure and applied chemistry).IUPAC name consists of three parts in major namely Prefix suffix and root word.

Prefix represents the substituent present in the molecule and its position in the root name.

Suffix denotes the presence of functional group if any in the molecule. It can be an alkene, alkyne, alcohol, carboxylic acid etc.

Root word represents the longest continuous carbon skeleton of the organic molecule.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structure and name of the compound with molecular formula ${\text{C}}_{\text{5}}{\text{H}}_{\text{12}}$ with no secondary carbons has to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Any organic molecule can be named by using certain rules given by IUPAC (International Union for Pure and applied chemistry).IUPAC name consists of three parts in major namely Prefix suffix and root word.

Prefix represents the substituent present in the molecule and its position in the root name.

Suffix denotes the presence of functional group if any in the molecule. It can be an alkene, alkyne, alcohol, carboxylic acid, alcohol etc...

Root word represents the longest continuous carbon skeleton of the organic molecule.
