Question

Name the cycloalkanes with molecular formula c6h12 that have a 3-membered ring and two substituents.

Answer 1

Answer:

1-ethyl-2-methyl cyclopropane.

Explanation:

• The structure of the molecule will be as shown in the attached image.

• The molecular formula of the compound is C₆H₁₂.

• It has 3 membered ring with 3 C atoms and two substituents one of them with one C atom (methyl) and the other with 2 C atoms (ethyl).

• The ring consist of 3 C atoms, so its name is cyclo propane.

• We numbering the atoms of the ring that give the ethyl substituent the low no. (1) and then methyl group take no. (2).

• Thus, the name of the compound is 1-ethyl-2-methyl cyclopropane.
