QUESTION:

Write molecular formulas for each bicycloalkane, given its number of carbon atoms.(a) Hydrindane (9 carbons) (b) Decalin (10 carbons)(c) Norbornane (7 carbons)

ANSWER:

Key concepts

Bicycloalkane

An alkane that contains two rings that share two carbon atoms is classified as a Bicycloalkane. The shared carbon atoms are called bridgehead carbons, and the carbon chain connecting them is called a bridge.
