C)

Step by step solution

01

Alkanes

Alkanes constitute compounds comprising single-bonded carbon and hydrogen atoms. They do not possess a functional group. The general formula for an alkane isCnH2n+2 .

02

Alkane comprising one quarternary and a secondary carbon

(c) A carbon linked to four other carbons is quarternary carbon, and the one connected to two carbons is secondary carbon. The alkane comprising one quarternary and a secondary carbon is given below:

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.
