Concept introduction:
The structural diagram is a simplified model that represents the arrangement of atoms and bonds in a molecule.
In the IUPAC name of an organic compound, the Greek prefix represents the number of the substituents; the numbers before the Greek prefix or substituent represent the position of the substituents. The
The number of carbon atoms in the parent hydrocarbon chain is represented by the root name. For example: ‘prop’ represent three carbon atoms in the parent hydrocarbon chain.

- Complete and balance the following combustion reactions. Assume that each hydrocarbon is converted completely to carbon dioxide and water. (a) Propane + O2 (b) Octane + O2 (c) Cyclohexane + O2 (d) 2-Methylpentane + O2arrow_forwardExplain general structure of Compounds Containing a C=O Group ?arrow_forwardDraw the Lewis structure of acetic acid, CH3CO2H, clearly indicating all non-bonding pairs of electrons. Even though nitrogen and phosphorus have the same number of valence electrons, nitrogen can only bond to chlorine four times forming NCl4+ but phosphorus can bond with chlorine five times forming PCl5. Explain. Draw all the isomers of C4H9Br, using bond-line formulas. Draw the Lewis structure of the nitrite ion, NO2–, clearly indicating resonance contributors as well as non-bonding pairs of electrons and formal charges, as relevant. Nitromethane is a polar molecule but contains 2 equal polar covalent bonds. Briefly explain why and draw a relevant 3-dimensional structure to show the overall dipole moment of the molecule. Draw all isomers of C6H12O that are aldehydes.arrow_forward
- Chlorocyclopentadiene does not ionize easily in solution. It will ionize only when treated with a very strong Lewis acid such as antimony pentafluoride (SBF3). The product was found by electron paramagnetic resonance (epr) studies to have two unpaired electrons. Draw the structure formed when this molecule ionizes. Include all lone pairs in your structure. Ignore inorganic byproducts. H20, SbFsarrow_forwardNote the number of isomers for Butane and Octane. Why does the number of possible isomers go up with an increasing number of carbon atoms?arrow_forwardPerspective drawings of both geometric isomers of CICH=CHCl (1,2-dichloroethene) Make two models that have different spatial arrangement of the substitutions (the two Cl atoms) across the double bond. Draw the perspective formulae for the two isomers and label them with their correct designations. What type of isomerism do these represent?arrow_forward
