Answer

Step by step solution

01

Constitutional isomers

A constitutional isomer can be represented by a cyclic ring or linear structure, depending on its molecular formula. Such isomers have different bonding atoms.

02

Cycloalkane

Acycloalkane has the general molecular formula CnH2n, where n is the number of carbon atoms.

03

Explanation

The given molecule, C5H10, has five carbon atoms and ten hydrogen atoms. The isomers are represented below.

Question: The torsional energy in propane is 14 kJ/mol (3.4 kcal/mol). Because each H,H eclipsing interaction is worth 4.0 kJ/mol (1.0 kcal/mol) of destabilization, how much is one H, CH3 eclipsing interaction worth in destabilization? (See Section 4.10 for an alternate way to arrive at this value.)

Question: Rank the following alkanes in order of increasing boiling point.
