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:
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:
Mixtures come in many forms and phases. Most of them can be separated, and the kind of separation method depends on the kind of mixture it is. Below are some common separation methods:
