Question
Explain the following with two examples:
i. straight chain alkyl groups
ii. branched chain alkyl group
i. straight chain alkyl groups
ii. branched chain alkyl group
✓
Answer
i. Straight chain alkyl group: It is obtained by removing one H-atom from the terminal carbon of an alkane molecule.
ii. It is named by replacing ‘ane’ of the alkane by ‘yl’.
iii. Branched chain alkyl group: It is obtained by removing a H-atom from any one of the non-terminal carbons of an alkane or any H-atom from a branched alkane
ii. It is named by replacing ‘ane’ of the alkane by ‘yl’.
iii. Branched chain alkyl group: It is obtained by removing a H-atom from any one of the non-terminal carbons of an alkane or any H-atom from a branched alkane
