Question
Chapter 10, Problem 10.10P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
“Organic substances are produced only by living organisms or not” is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Compounds in which carbon atoms are covalently bonded to one another are called organic compounds. In many organic compounds carbon are also linked to other elements by covalent bonds such as hydrogen, sulphur, oxygen and nitrogen.

Break open your cyclohexane ring to make n-hexane (C6H14). (You will need two extra hydrogen atoms to the terminal carbon atoms to complete your model). Is hexane flexible or rigid? The melting point of cyclohexane is 6o C whereas the melting point of hexane is -94o C. Can you suggest a reason for this based on the structures you have made?
C5H12 has 3 structural isomers
C6H14 has 5 structural isomers
C7H16 has 9 structural isomers.
I get what a structural isomer is, but when I see a statement like the 3 statements above, I wonder if there is a way I can figure out how many structural isomers something has? I'm in CHEM 2. We didnt talk about that but when I see a slide he has telling me this, and I am wondering what to take from the slide...hmmm.
Suppose that you are told that organic substances are produced only by living organisms. How will you rebut this assessment?
