Carbon and its Compounds 3 marks Medium
  1. (i)In the given below compound identify (I) the heteroatom, and (II) the functional group.
  2. (ii)Write the structural formula of butane ().
  3. (iii)Draw the complete structure of the molecule of (I) Cyclohexane, and (II) Benzene. Which of the two is unsaturated ?
H C C O H H H H H

Answer

The heteroatom is oxygen and the functional group is ; butane is a four-carbon chain; benzene is the unsaturated one.

(i) (I) The heteroatom is oxygen, O. (II) The functional group is , the alcohol group; the compound is ethanol, . (ii) Butane is : four carbon atoms in a chain joined by single bonds, the two end carbons carrying three hydrogens each and the two middle carbons two each (drawn in full in the figure). (iii) (I) Cyclohexane, : a ring of six carbon atoms joined by single bonds, each carbon bonded to two hydrogens. (II) Benzene, : a ring of six carbon atoms, each bonded to one hydrogen, with alternate single and double bonds. Benzene is the unsaturated one.
