Nuclear fission is a process by which the nucleus of an atom is split into two or more smaller nuclei, known as fission products. The fission of heavy elements is an exothermic reaction, and huge amounts of energy are released in the process.
A. The longest carbon chain is eight, and it has two methyl groups attached to carbon three, and a special group attached to carbon five. Its two names could be:
3-dimethyl-5-(1-methylethyl)octane
3-dimethyl-5-isopropyloctane
Both of these are correct. This is an alkane, because it has all single bonds.
B. This has a triple bond contained between carbons 2 and 3, and has a methyl group off carbon 4. The longest chain is 5. It’s name is:
4-methyl-2-pentyne
This is an alkene, because of the double bond.
C. This has a double bond contained between carbons 2 and 3, and has a methyl off of four and an methyl off of six. The longest chain is eight (follow the longest chain of carbons).
4,6-dimethyl-2-octene
This is an alkene, because of the double bond.
D. This has an ethyl group at 1 and a methyl group at 2 (rotate the compound to make it as clean as possible, in this case, the ring is flipped and rotated to make it alphabetical with the smallest numbers possible). The two names are:
1-ethyl-2-methylbenzene
ortho-ethylmethylbenzene
Both are correct, the ortho prefix telling the location of the ethyl and methyl groups. This is an aromatic structure because of its double bonded ring.
E. The longest chain is nine, and has methyls at three, five, and seven, along with a propyl at five. The name is:
3,5,7-trimethyl-5-propylnonane
This is an alkane, due to the single bonds.
Hope this helps!
The chemical formula for table sugar is C12H22O11. From the formula, you can say that it is an organic molecule where in every molecule contains 12 atoms of carbon, 22 atoms of hydrogen and 11 atoms of oxygen. There are 45 atoms in total in one molecule of sugar.
