Write structures of different chain isomers of alkanes corresponding to the molecular formula C6H14. Also, write their IUPAC names.
Write structures of different isomeric alkyl groups corresponding to the molecular formula C5H11. Write IUPAC names of alcohols obtained by attachment of -OH groups at different carbons of the chain.
Write IUPAC names of the following compounds:
(i) (CH3)3 C CH2C(CH3)3
(ii) (CH3)2 C(C2H5)2
(iii) tetra-tert-butyl methane
Write structural formulas of the following compounds:
(i) 3, 4, 4, 5-Tetramethylheptane.
(ii) 2, 5-Dimethylhexane.
Write structures for each of the following compounds. Why are the given names incorrect? Write correct IUPAC names:
(i) 2-Ethylpentane
(ii) 5-Ethyl-3-methylheptane
How are alkanes formed from:
(i) unsaturated hydrocarbons
(ii) sodium salt of fatty acids?
Why is Wurtz reaction not preferred for the preparation of alkanes containing odd number of carbon atoms? Illustrate your answer bytaking one example.
Experiment: Powdered sodium acetate is mixed with four times the amount of soda lime. The mixture is taken in a hard glass tube. It is fitted with the delivery tube.
As the contents of the tube are heated, methane gas is produced. It is collected by the downward displacement of water.
