Question

Convert each of the following line-angle formulas to a condensed structural formula and give its IUPAC name: ($11.3$)

a.

b.

Short answer

(a) The required condensed structural formula is and IUPAC name is$2,3-Dimethylhexane$

(b) The required condensed structural formula is and IUPAC name is$2,3,4-Trimethylpen\tan e$

Step-by-step solution

Part (a) Step 1: Given information

We need to find the condensed formula and IUPAC name of the given line angle formulas.

Part (a) Step 2: Explanation

We know that

The Condensed structural formula represents each element's symbol and the bond between each element

Therefore, The required condensed structural formula is

And IUPAC name is the name that is accepted worldwide.

So, The IUPAC name is $2,3-Dimethylhexane$

Part (b) Step 1: Given information 

We need to find the condensed formula and IUPAC name of the given line angle formulas.

Part (b) Step 2: Explanation 

We know that

The Condensed structural formula represents each element's symbol and the bond between each element

Therefore, The required condensed structural formula is

And IUPAC name is the name that is accepted worldwide.

So, The IUPAC name is $2,3,4-Trimethylpen\tan e$
