Q3. Which of the following objects are chiral and which are achiral? a
1 answer:
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
In this question, we have to follow the IUPAC rules. Lets analyze each compound:
a. 1-methylbutane
In this compound we have a chain of 5 carbons, so the correct name is <u>Pentane.</u>
b. 1,1,3-trimethylhexane
In this compound, we longest chain is made of 7 carbons, so, we have to use the name "heptane". Carbon one would be the closet one to the methyl group, so the correct name is <u>2,4-dimethylheptane.</u>
c. 5-octyne
In this case, carbon 1 would be the closet one to the triplet bond. With this in mind, the correct name is <u>oct-3-yne.</u>
d. 2-ethyl-1-propanol
In this compound, we longest chain is made of 4 carbons, so, we have to use the name "butane". Carbon one would be the carbon with the "OH" group, so the correct name is <u>2-methylbutan-1-ol.</u>
<u>e. 2.2-dimethyl-3-butanol</u>
In this case, carbon 1 would be the closet one to the "OH". With this in mind, the correct name is <u>3,3-dimethylbutan-2-ol.</u>
See figure 1

Answer:-
Explanations:- Alkanes are non polar molecules as these only have carbons and hydrogens. Electron negativity difference of C and H is very low and it makes them non polar. These have weaker London dispersion forces.
The forces of attraction becomes stronger in alkanes as the number of carbon increases because the surface area as well as molecular weight of the alkanes increases with an increase in number of carbons.
Butane has four carbons, propane has three carbons, ethane has two and methane has only one carbon, So, the strongest to weakest order of inter molecular forces is butane > propane > ethane > methane .
