Give IUPAC names for the following alkanes, and convert each drawing
into a skeletal structure.

Increased substitution around a bond leads to increased strain. Take the four substituted butanes listed below, for example. For each compound, sight along the C2–C3 bond and draw Newman projections of the most stable and least stable conformations. Use the data in Table 3-5 to assign strain-energy values to each conformation. Which of the eight conformations is most strained? Which is least strained?
(a) 2-Methylbutane
(b) 2,2-Dimethylbutane
(c) 2,3-Dimethylbutane
(d) 2,2,3-Trimethylbutane
Draw structures corresponding to the following IUPAC names:
(a) 3, 4-Dimethylnonane
We’ll see in the next chapter that there are two isomeric substances, both named 1,2-dimethylcyclohexane. Explain.

Predict the hybridization of the carbon atom in each of the following Functional groups:
(c) Carboxylic acid
