QUESTION:
A compound with molecular formula C5H11N has no p bonds. Every carbon atom is connected to exactly two hydrogen atoms. Determine the structure of the compound.
ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
If every carbon atom is connected to two hydrogens, then there are no terminal carbons, which would be attached to three hydrogen atoms. If each carbon requires two hydrogens, then there is only one hydrogen left which is bonded to the nitrogen atom. This indicates that all the five carbon atoms and the nitrogen are in one ring.
