(a)
Interpretation: The
Concept introduction: An atom or group of atoms which are responsible for characteristic physical and chemical properties of the compound are collectively known as functional groups. The functional groups are the most reactive part present in the molecule.
(b)
Interpretation: The skeletal structure of a constitutional isomer of neral that should be more water soluble is to be drawn.
Concept introduction: The isomers which have same molecular formula but different connectivity of atoms are constitutional isomers.
The extent to which a compound is soluble in a liquid is the solubility of the compound.
A Compound dissolves in a liquid having similar kind of intermolecular interactions. Polar compounds are soluble in polar solvents and similarly non polar compounds are soluble in non polar solvents.
(c)
Interpretation: Most electrophilic carbon atom is to be labeled.
Concept introduction: A nucleophile is defined as an electron rich species. It is also known as “nucleus loving” or “positive charge loving” species. It is a reactant that provides a pair of electrons to form a covalent bond.
