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:
Difference Between Empirical and Molecular Formulas. The key difference between empirical and molecular formulas is that an empirical formula only gives the simplest ratio of atoms whereas a molecular formula gives the exact number of each atom in a molecule. In chemistry, we often use symbols to identify elements and molecules.
In wet tropical climates, the high clouds trap a lot of heat while balancing incoming and outgoing heat energy. When the number of heat trapping cloud remains very low, then the unstable cool air above the clouds cause lot of rain.
