What is the name of this hydrocarbon?
2 answers:
Answer:
2-methylebutane
Explanation:
it is a hydrocarbon and there is a specific Rule for its nomenclature.
that is known as IUPAC naming system. According to it
- The compound that has all single bonds name ends on ane.
- Names according to the number of Carbons,
* For one carbon compound it is known as methane,
* For 2 ethane,
* For 3 propane
* For 4 Butane and so on.
- select the longest chain of compound
- Start numbering with lowest substituted position at carbon
- branch compound name as Iso and neo as whole
So keeping in mind the compound can be named as
2-methylebutane
- As the longest chain contain four carbon atoms so it will name as butane
- The substitution of methyl group is on C-2
*Note: it can also named as isopantane as it is branched and have five carbons but it could not be 3-isopentane.

Ionic compound are those compounds which are made up of ions. The ion which has tendency to loose electrons is said to cation (positive charge) such as metals whereas ion which has tendency to gain electrons is said to anion (negative charge) such as non-metals.
Calcium nitrate is quite soluble in water due to very low lattice enthalpy in comparison to other ionic compound. With lower lattice enthalpy, less energy is required for the dissociation of calcium nitrate and it get dissolves in water than other three compounds. Moreover, hydration energy is higher for calcium nitrate which make its solubility higher in water than other ionic species.
Thus, is correct answer.
