Question
Chapter 9, Problem 12Q
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Whether the given two structures represent same arrangement and also the orientation of arrangement in each given structure have to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Monomer: A molecule is considered as monomer when this molecule bonds with another identical molecule which results to form polymer.
Terpenes are made by joining five-carbon units, usually in a head to tail-fashion.
Isoprene unit:
Branched end of isoprene – Head
Unbranched end of isoprene - Tail

- A. Structural Isomerism of Alkanes, continued. Construct models for the five alkanes that have the molecular formula C6H₁4. All five of your models should have the same number of each type of atom, but they should have the atoms connected in a different order. Thus the molecules they represent are structural isomers of one another. Note the tetrahedral geometry of each carbon atom. Draw an extended and a condensed structure (NOT skeletal/line angle) of each structural isomer, then determine its IUPAC name. Recall that since the IUPAC name specifies the number of each type of atom and how they are connected, each structural isomer will have a different name. Each name should very specifically describe the structure.
