Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The structural formula for a
Concept introduction:
The replacement of the hydrogen by other
(b)
Interpretation:
The structural formula for an alcohol with the molecular formula
Concept introduction:
The replacement of the hydrogen by other functional groups in the chemical formula for alkanes gives different compounds. These functional groups have a particular set of atom. Attaching the functional groups to the alkane changes the properties of alkanes. Each functional group has a set of certain properties possessed by all the compounds having that functional group.
