QUESTION:
Write structural formulas and line-angle formulas for the following alkanes and cycloalkanes.(a) 2,2,4-Trimethylhexane (b) 2,2-Dimethylpropane(c) 3-Ethyl-2,4,5-trimethyloctane (d) 5-Butyl-2,2-dimethylnonane(e) 4-(1-Methylethyl)octane (f) 3,3-Dimethylpentane(g) trans-1,3-Dimethylcyclopentane (h) cis-1,2-Diethylcyclobutane
ANSWER:Key concepts
Structural formula
Chemical bonds connecting the atoms of a molecule are located in structural formulae. A structural formula is made up of symbols for the atoms joined by brief lines that stand in for chemical bonds. Single, double, and triple bonds are denoted by one, two, or three lines, respectively.
Line angular formula
The line-angle formulas imply a carbon atom at the corners and ends of lines where each carbon has enough hydrogen atoms (that are not shown) so it has four bonds.
Step 1 of 2
We are given a set of molecular formulas, we need to find the structural formulas and line angular formulas of the compound.
(a) 2,2,4-Trimethylhexane (b) 2,2-Dimethylpropane
(c) 3-Ethyl-2,4,5-trimethyloctane (d) 5-Butyl-2,2-dimethylnonane
(e) 4-(1-Methylethyl)octane (f) 3,3-Dimethylpentane
(g) trans-1,3-Dimethylcyclopentane (h) cis-1,2-Diethylcyclobutane
