Chapter 7.3, Problem 8P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The smallest
Concept Introduction:
Physical properties of hydrocarbons:
- The compounds with high molecular weight have high boiling point.
- Insoluble in water, but in polar solvent it is stable.
- Density of hydrocarbons are less than of water.
Polarity is an important factor in comparing the boiling points of two compounds. The more dipole moment, more will be the boiling point.

Why do alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes have a relatively low boiling point?
O They have no large intermolecular forces holding them together.
O They have no diple moments or polarity.
O They have a lot of electron density in a very small amout of space.
Consider the three isomeric alkanes: hexane, 2, 3-dimethylbutane, and 2-methylpentane. Which of the following correctly lists these compounds in order of increasing boiling point? The more to the right, the higher the BP.
13. One way of naming alcohols is to name the alkyl group that is attached to the -OH and add the word
alcohol. Write bond-line formulas for (a.) propyl alcohol and (b.) isopropyl alcohol.

What are the two general formulas for alkanes? What is the hybridization of carbon atoms in alkanes? What are the bond angles in alkanes? Why are cyclopropane and cyclobutane so reactive? The normal (unbranched) hydrocarbons are often referred to as straight-chain hydrocarbons. What does this name refer to? Does it mean that the carbon atoms in a straight-chain hydrocarbon really have a linear arrangement? Explain. In the shorthand notation for cyclic alkanes, the hydrogens are usually omitted. How do you determine the number of hydrogens bonded to each carbon in a ring structure?arrow_forward
- Distinguish between isomerism and resonance. Distinguish between structural and geometric isomerism. When writing the various structural isomers, the most difficult task is identifying which are different isomers and which are identical to a previously written structurethat is, which are compounds that differ only by the rotation of a carbon single bond. How do you distinguish between structural isomers and those that are identical? Alkenes and cycloalkanes are structural isomers of each other. Give an example of each using C4H8. Another common feature of alkenes and cycloalkanes is that both have restricted rotation about one or more bonds in the compound, so both can exhibit cis- trans isomerism. What is required for an alkene or cycloalkane to exhibit cis-trans isomerism? Explain the difference between cis and trans isomers. Alcohols and ethers are structural isomers of each other, as are aldehydes and ketones. Give an example of each to illustrate. Which functional group in Table 21-4 can be structural isomers of carboxylic acids? What is optical isomerism? What do you look for to determine whether an organic compound exhibits optical isomerism? 1-Bromo-1-chloroethane is optically active whereas 1-bromo-2-chloroethane is not optically active.
