Problem 1P Explain each statement in terms of atomic properties: (a)Carbon engages in covalent rather than ionic bonding. (b)Carbon has four bonds in all its organic compounds. (c)Carbon forms neither stable cations, like many metals, nor stable anions, like many nonmetals. (d)Carbon bonds to itself more extensively than does any other element. (e)Carbon forms stable multiple bonds.

Problem 9P
Draw all possible skeletons for a 7-C compound with
(a)A 6-C chain and 1 double bond
(b)A 5-C chain and 1 double bond
(c)A 5-C ring and no double bonds
Solution
Solution 9P:
Here, we are going to draw the possible skeletons for a 7-C compound.
Step 1: (a) A 6-C chain and 1 double bond
The possible skeletons for a 7-C compound with a 6-C chain and 1 double bond are following:
- A 6-C chain and 1 double bond at C-1 and one -CH3 at C-2 position
(b) A 6-C chain and 1 double bond at C-1 and one -CH3 at C-3 position
(c) A 6-C chain and 1 double bond at C-1 and one -CH3 at C-4 position
(d) A 6-C chain and 1 double bond at C-1 and one -CH3 at C-5 position
(e) A 6-C chain and 1 double bond at C-2 and one -CH3 at C-2 position
(f) A 6-C chain and 1 double bond at C-2 and one -CH3 at C-3 position
(g) A 6-C chain and 1 double bond at C-2 and one -CH3 at C-4 position
(h) A 6-C chain and 1 double bond at C-2 and one -CH3 at C-5 position
(i) A 6-C chain and 1 double bond at C-3 and one -CH3 at C-2 position
(j) A 6-C chain and 1 double bond at C-3 and one -CH3 at C-3 position
(k) A 6-C chain and 1 double bond at C-3 and one -CH3 at C-4 position
