Step-by-step solution for: 11: Intro Organic Structures - Chemistry LibreTexts
The image you've uploaded contains a grid of organic molecules, each with their structural formulas and simplified line-angle or condensed formulas. The task appears to be naming each compound based on its structure.
Let’s go through each molecule systematically, identify the functional group, and provide the IUPAC name (or common name where appropriate). We’ll also explain how we determine the name for each.

1. CH₃CO₂H
- Structure: Carboxylic acid with two carbons
- Name: Acetic acid (common) / Ethanoic acid (IUPAC)
2. CH₃CHO
- Aldehyde with two carbons
- Name: Acetaldehyde (common) / Ethanal (IUPAC)
3. CH₃COCH₃
- Ketone with three carbons
- Name: Acetone (common) / Propanone (IUPAC)
4. CH₃COOCH₃
- Ester from acetic acid and methanol
- Name: Methyl acetate / Methyl ethanoate
5. CH₃CH₂OH
- Alcohol with two carbons
- Name: Ethanol

6. CH₃CH₂CH₃
- Alkane with three carbons
- Name: Propane
7. CH₃CH=CH₂
- Alkene with three carbons, double bond at C1
- Name: Propene
8. HC≡CH
- Alkyne with two carbons
- Name: Ethyne
9. CH₃CONH₂
- Amide from acetic acid
- Name: Acetamide / Ethanimide
10. CH₃CH₂NH₂

- Correct: Ethylmethylamine / N-Methylethanamine
But IUPAC: N-Methylethanamine is correct.
