Question

In organic chemistry, what is n,iso and neo? Also, what is a hydrocarbon skeleton?

Answer 1

Answer:

The prefix "iso" is used when all carbons except one form a continuous chain. This one carbon is part of an isopropyl group at the end of the chain. Common name: isopentane. IUPAC name: 2-methylbutane.

Answer 2

Answer:

The prefix "iso" is used when all carbons except one form a continuous chain. This one carbon is part of an isopropyl group at the end of the chain. ... The prefix "neo" is used when all but two carbons form a continuous chain, and these two carbons are part of a terminal tert-butyl group

A hydrocarbon is any chemical compound whose molecules are made up of nothing but carbon and hydrogen atoms. ... Every hydrocarbon molecule is built upon a skeleton of carbon atoms bonded to each other either in the form of closed rings or in a continuous row like links in a chain.

Hope this helps!!
