- The octane rating for gasoline is a measurement of how readily a fuelcombusts compared to 2,2,4-trimethylpentane, an isomer of octane.a. Draw 2,2,4-trimethylpentane and verify that it is an isomer ofoctane.b. Draw four other isomers of octane.c. Select one of the isomers and draw it such that it looksdifferent on the page but is still the exact same compound.d. Name this isomer.e. Define isomer using a complete sentence.arrow_forwardDraw the structure of all compounds that fit the following descriptions. a. Five constitutional isomers having the molecular formula C4Hg.arrow_forward2.) Draw 1 isomer of the compounds in item no. 3, and state the type of isomerism.

- 16. An atom or group of atoms that can give organic compounds distinct chemical and physical properties. 21. When a compound with the general formula R-COOH loses a proton, the product that remains is described with this term. Its general formula is R-COO- 24. A class of organic compounds in which three or more carbons form a ring structure. All of the carbon-to-carbon bonds are single bonds in this family of compounds.arrow_forwardCyclopentane has a higher boiling point than pentane even though both compounds have the same number of carbons (49 °C vs. 36 °C). Can you suggest a reason for this phenomenon?arrow_forward2. The molecules shown below are four terpineol isomers. They are isolated from plants and have distinct aromas. For example, a -terpineol is a common perfume ingredient and smells similar to lilacs. Hol H-O- a-terpineol B-terpineol Y-terpineol 4-terpineol A) Draw a structural isomer of terpineol that meet the following criteria. You should draw one unique structure for each set. You must draw each molecule twice, once as a skeletal structure and once as a complete Lewis structure showing all atoms, bonds, and lone pairs of electrons. i. Does not have a ring. ii. Has an E alkene. iii. Has a secondary alcohol. iv. Does not contain an alcohol. B) Draw a complete Lewis structure of a-terpineol showing all bonds, atoms and lone pairs of electrons.arrow_forward
- Compounds with two carbonyl groups are named as alkane diones, for example: R 2,3-butanedione The compound above is an artificial flavor added to microwave popcorn and movie-theater popcorn to simulate the butter flavor. Interestingly, this very same compound is also known to contribute to body odor. Name the following compounds: cyclohexane-1,3-dione cycloheptane-1,4-dione gily nonane-2,8-dionearrow_forward4. Draw possible structures for isomeric compounds with the molecular formula C6H10O that contain the following: a) an alkene b) a ketone c) an alcohol and a ringarrow_forwardDraw an organic compound that fi ts each of the following criteria. a. a hydrocarbon having molecular formula C 3H 4 that contains a triple bond b. an alcohol containing three carbons c. an aldehyde containing three carbons d. a ketone having molecular formula C 4H 8Oarrow_forward
