Question

Q 44Draw and name the 17 alkene isomers,C₆H₁₂ , including E, Z isomers.

Short answer

Answer

Step-by-step solution

Definition of Isomers and degree of unsaturation

Isomers are those compounds which have same molecular formula but different structure. These compounds termed as Isomers

Degree of unsaturation is defined as total number of multiple bonds present in the compounds

Degree of unsaturation =$\mathbf{C}\mathbf{-}\frac{\mathbf{H}}{\mathbf{2}}\mathbf{-}\frac{\mathbf{X}}{\mathbf{2}}\mathbf{+}\frac{\mathbf{N}}{\mathbf{2}}\mathbf{+}\mathbf{1}$

Structure of possible alkene

Degree of unsaturation for C₆H₁₂ = 1

Structure of the alkene has been drawn on the basis of same molecular formula with different structures

Structure of all the possible alkene has been given below:
