Question

Draw the four structures of the compounds with molecular formula C5H10O that contain a carbon-carbon double bond, an unbranched carbon chain, and a hydroxyl group one carbon from the end of the chain.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Molecular formula of the compound =

The carbon chain in the molecule will look like :

1.
`H_2C=CH-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2-OH`

2.
`H_3C-CH=CH-CH_2-CH_2-OH`

3.
`H_3C-CH-CH=CH-CH_2-OH`

4.
`H_3C-CH_2-CH_2-CH=CH-OH`

No branching is present, so that means the valency of the carbon will be fulfilled by 10 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom
