Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The chemical equation should be written which involves the structural formulas for the catalytic cracking of 2,2,3,4,5,5-hexamethylhexane. The cracking takes place between third and fourth carbon atoms is to be assumed.
Concept Introduction:
Compounds consist of carbon and hydrogen is known as hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons are classified as saturated hydrocarbon and unsaturated hydrocarbon.
Saturated hydrocarbons are those hydrocarbons in which carbon-carbon single bond is present as carbon is linked with four atoms such as
The process in which complex hydrocarbons are broken into simpler hydrocarbons is known as catalytic cracking.
(b)
Interpretation:
The name and structure of isomer of alkene should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Compounds consist of carbon and hydrogen is known as hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons are classified as saturated hydrocarbon and unsaturated hydrocarbon.
Saturated hydrocarbons are those hydrocarbons in which carbon-carbon single bond is present as carbon is linked with four atoms such as alkanes.
Unsaturated hydrocarbons are those hydrocarbons in which one or more carbon-carbon double and carbon-carbon triple bond is present such as alkenes and alkynes.
The compounds having similar chemical formula but different structures are known as isomers.
