Chapter 11, Problem 11A.1E

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The line structure of CH3CCCH3 and the class of hydrocarbon has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Line structure:  Line structure is a simplest representation of a hydrocarbon.  In line structure, the chain of carbon atoms is shown as a zigzag line.  The end of each short line in the zigzag represents a carbon atom.  Since the carbon nearly always has a valence of four in organic compounds, it is not necessary to show the hydrogen atoms.

Class of hydrocarbons:

Alkanes:  Saturated hydrocarbons are called as alkanes.  Each atom in an alkane shows the presence of four single bonds in a tetrahedral arrangement with sp3 hybridization.  The name of alkane ends with “-ane”.

Alkenes:  The simplest unsaturated hydrocarbon with a double bond is called as alkene.  The name of alkane ends with “-ene”.

Alkynes:  Alkynes are hydrocarbons with one carbon-carbon triple bond.  The name of the alkyne ends with “-yne”.
