Question:
Write the IUPAC name of the following alkanes:
1. (CH{eq}_3 {/eq}){eq}_3 {/eq}-C-CH{eq}_2 {/eq}-CH{eq}_2 {/eq}-CH{eq}_3 {/eq}
2. CH{eq}_3 {/eq}CHCH{eq}_2 {/eq}CHCH{eq}_2 {/eq}CH{eq}_2 {/eq}CH{eq}_3 {/eq} with a CH{eq}_3 {/eq} attached to the 2nd carbon and the 4th carbon.
Alkanes
Alkanes is one of the kind hydrocarbon compounds. Alkanes consist carbon and hydrogen atoms with bonding by single-bonded. The general formula for alkanes:
{eq}C_{n}H_{2n+2} {/eq}
The example of alkanes are {eq}CH_{4}, \, C_{2}H_{6}, \, C_{3}H_{8}, \, etc {/eq}.
