Alcohols\(A,B\) , and \(C\) all have the composition \({C_4}{H_{10}}O.\) Molecules of alcohol A contain a branched carbon chain and can be oxidized to an aldehyde; molecules of alcohol B contain a linear carbon chain and can be oxidized to a ketone; and molecules of alcohol C can be oxidized to neither an aldehyde nor a ketone. Write the Lewis structures of these molecules.
Write Lewis structures and name the five structural isomers of hexane.
MTBE, Methyl tert-butyl ether, CH3OC(CH3)3, is used as an oxygen source in oxygenated gasolines. MTBE is manufactured by reacting 2-methylpropene with methanol.
(a) Using Lewis structures, write the chemical equation representing the reaction.
(b) What volume of methanol, density 0.7915 g/mL, is required to produce exactly 1000 kg of MTBE, assuming a 100% yield?
Explain why these two molecules are not isomers:

Write Lewis structures and describe the molecular geometry of each carbon atom in the following compounds:
(a) cis-3-hexene
(b) cis-1-chloro-2-bromoethene
(c) 2-pentyne
(d)trans-6-ethyl-7-methyl-2-octene
