Note to Teacher: You will notice that there are two different formats for the Sample Problems in the student textbook. Where appropriate, the Sample Problem contains the full set of steps: Problem, What Is Required, What Is Given, Plan Your Strategy, Act on Your Strategy, and Check Your Solution. Where a shorter solution is appropriate, the Sample Problem contains only two steps: Problem and Solution. Where relevant, a Check Your Solution step is also included in the shorter Sample Problems.

2. Problem

Predict and sketch the three-dimensional shape of each multiple-bonded molecule. (a) HC CH (b) H2C O Solution
(a) Each carbon atom has one triple bond and one single bond. The shape around

each carbon atom is linear, so the shape of this molecule is linear.

H C C H
(b) The carbon atom has one double bond and two single bonds, so the shape around

the carbon atom (and the shape of the molecule) will be trigonal planar.

3. Problem

Identify any polar bonds that are present in each molecule in questions 1 and 2. Solution The molecule in question 1(a) has two polar bonds: C O and O H. The molecule in question 1(b) has only C H bonds, which are usually considered to be non-polar. The molecule in question 2(a) has only C considered to be non-polar. C and C H bonds, which are usually O.

The molecule in question 2(b) has one polar bond: C

4. Problem

For each molecule in questions 1 and 2, predict whether the molecule as a whole is polar or non-polar. Solution For question 1(a): Step 1 The molecule has polar bonds. Step 2 There are two polar bonds: C O and O H Step 3 Because there is a bent shape around the oxygen atom, the polar bonds do not counteract each other. The molecule is polar.
Step 1

For question 1(b): There are no polar bonds, so the molecule is non-polar.

For question 2(a): Step 1 There are no polar bonds, so the molecule is non-polar.
Step 1 Step 2

For question 2(b): The molecule has a polar bond. Since there is only one polar bond, the molecule is polar.

Solution
(a) Step 1 Step 2 (b) Step 1 Step 2 (c) Step 1 Step 2 Step 3

There are only two carbon atoms, so the root is -eth-. The name of this compound is ethane. There are four carbon atoms in a ring. The root is -cyclobut-. This is an alkene, so the name of the compound is cyclobutene.

There are ve carbon atoms in the main chain, so the root is -pent-. There is a double carbon-carbon bond, so the sufx is -ene. Number the compound from the left to give the lowest position number to the double bond. Step 4 There is a methyl group on the second carbon, so the prex is 2-methyl-. Step 5 The full name is 2-methyl-2-pentene. There are six carbon atoms in the longest chain, so the root is -hex-. The compound is an alkane, so the sufx is -ane. Number from the left to give the branch the lowest possible position number. Step 4 There is a methyl group on the third carbon atom, so the prex is 3-methyl-. Step 5 The full name is 3-methylhexane. There are seven carbon atoms in the longest chain that contains the double bond. The root is -hept-. The compound is an alkene, so the sufx is -ene. Number from the left to give the lowest possible position number to the double bond. There is a methyl group on the second carbon atom, and an ethyl group on the third carbon atom. In alphabetical order, the prex is 3-ethyl-2-methyl-. The full name is 3-ethyl-2-methyl-2-heptene.

Step 5 (f) Step 1 Step 2 Step 3

There are six carbon atoms in the main ring, so the root is -cyclohex-. The compound is an alkane, so the sufx is -ane. Start numbering at a branch, so that the two branches have the lowest possible position numbers. Step 4 There are two methyl groups, so the prex is 1,2-dimethyl-. Step 5 The full name is 1,2-dimethylcyclohexane. There are ve carbon atoms in the main chain, so the root is -pent-. There is a triple bond, so the sufx is -yne. Number from the left to give the lowest possible position number to the triple bond. Step 4 There are no branches. Step 5 The full name is 2-pentyne.

(c) Step 1 Step 2

Identify any errors in the name of each hydrocarbon.

(a) 2,2,3-dimethylbutane (b) 2,4-diethyloctane (c) 3-methyl-4,5-diethyl-2-nonyne

Solution
(a) There are three methyl groups, so the name should be 2,2,3-trimethylbutane. (b) If you draw this compound, you can see that the main chain has more than eight

carbon atoms (the ethyl group on carbon 2 should be counted as part of the main chain). The correct name is 5-ethyl-3-methylnonane. (c) If you draw this compound, you will see that the third carbon atom forms more than four covalent bonds. This is not possible. One solution would be to change the name to 3-methyl-4,5-diethyl-2-nonene.

Solution (a) This compound has a double bond, not a triple bond. Also, the bond is located at carbon 3. The correct name is 3-hexene. (b) This compound has triple bonds, not double bonds. Also, since there are two triple bonds, the prex -di- should be used. Finally, the triple bonds are located at carbons 2 and 4. The correct name is 2,4-hexadiyne.

The main chain has three carbon atoms. The name of the parent alkane is propane. Step 2 Replacing -e with -ol gives propanol. Step 3 The OH group is at carbon 1, giving 1-propanol. This is a primary alcohol. There are four carbon atoms in the main chain, so the parent alkane is butane. Step 2 The base name is butanol. Step 3 A position number is needed, so the compound is 2-butanol. This is a secondary alcohol. There are four carbons in the main ring, so the parent alkane is cyclobutane. Step 2 The name of the compound is cyclobutanol. No position number is needed. This is a secondary alcohol. There are ve carbons in the main chain, so the parent alkane is pentane. There are two OH groups, so the base name is pentanediol.

(Note that an OH group is always given priority over alkyl groups such as a methyl group.) There are methyl groups at carbon 2 and carbon 4. The prex is 2,4-dimethyl-.

The parent acid is ethanoic acid. Replacing the sufx gives ethanamide. This is the name of the compound. The parent acid is heptanoic acid. Replacing the sufx gives heptanamide. This is a secondary amide. The prex is N-methyl-. The full name is N-methylheptanamide. The parent acid is 2-methylpropanoic acid. Replacing the sufx gives 2-methylpropanamide. This is a tertiary amide. The prex is N,N-dimethyl-. The full name is N,N-dimethyl-2-methylpropanamide.
