Answer to Question #223331 in Physical Chemistry for Rasgel

Question

What is the procedure for obtaining an alkyl group?

A. Removal of a hydrogen atom from an alkane

B. Cyclic transformation

C. Nitration

D. Sulphonation

Answer 1

A. Removal of a hydrogen atom from an alkane

They are formed through the removal of a hydrogen atom from the alkane structure. The general formula of alkanes is CnH2n+2 C n H 2 n + 2 , a single hydrogen atom must be removed from the formula to derive the general formula of the alkyl group, which is CnH2n+1 C n H 2 n + 1
