Step by step solution

01

Alkanes  

Alkanes are hydrocarbons comprising single bonds. The different alkanes are branched alkanes, cyclic alkanes, and linear straight alkanes.

02

Structure of an alkane with two tertiary carbons

(a) Tertiary carbons are carbons attached to three other carbons. An alkane with two tertiary carbons is given below:

(b) Two isomers with the formula C4H8O2

Formaldehyde,H2C=O, is known to all biologists because of its usefulness as a tissue preservative. When pure, formaldehyde trimerizes to give trioxane,C3H6O3, which, surprisingly enough, has no carbonyl groups. Only one monobromo derivative (C3H5BrO3)of trioxane is possible. Propose a structure for trioxane.
