Chapter 7, Problem 48CP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Whether the wavelength of maximum absorption in naphthalene is shorter or longer than 255 nm that is maximum absorption in benzene needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:Benzene shows resonance due to delocalization of π

electrons. The naphthalene is formed by fusion of two benzene molecules. The structure of benzene and naphthalene is represented as follows:

what is the term used to describe organic reactions in which each atom of a diatomic molecule is transferred to one of the carbons in a double bond?
In an advanced analytical chemistry lab, a team analyzing a compound 'Q' known to be a structural isomer of octane (C8H18). To determine the specific structure of 'Q', a series of spectroscopic analyses are performed. The sequence of the analysis involves: Infrared (IR) spectroscopy, which indicates the absence of functional groups like alcohols, ketones, and carboxylic acids. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, showing signals indicative of only methyl and methylene groups, with no evidence of methine (CH) or quaternary carbon environments. Mass spectrometry (MS), revealing a fragmentation pattern consistent with branched alkane structures. Based on this sequence of analyses, what is the most likely structure of compound 'Q'? Options: A. 2,2,4- Trimethylpentane B. n-Octane C. 2-Methylheptane D. 3-Ethylhexane Don't use chatgpt please provide valuable answer
