The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the statements are correct, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step 1: Analyze the First Statement - The first statement describes a structure that is claimed to be a saturated compound. - A saturated compound contains only single bonds between carbon atoms (C-C), while an unsaturated compound contains at least one double (C=C) or triple bond (C≡C). - The given structure has C single bond C, indicating it is indeed a saturated compound. - However, the statement claims it is unsaturated, which is incorrect. **Conclusion**: The first statement is **incorrect**. ### Step 2: Analyze the Second Statement - The second statement claims that neohydrocarbons contain a tertiary carbon atom. - Neohydrocarbons are characterized by having a carbon atom that is bonded to three other carbon atoms (making it tertiary). - However, the examples provided, such as neopentane and neohexane, show that they actually contain quaternary carbon atoms (bonded to four other carbon atoms). - Therefore, the statement is incorrect. **Conclusion**: The second statement is **incorrect**. ### Step 3: Analyze the Third Statement - The third statement claims that the IUPAC name of isopropyl alcohol is propane-2-ol. - Isopropyl alcohol has the structure where the hydroxyl group (-OH) is attached to the second carbon of a three-carbon chain. - The correct IUPAC naming for this compound is indeed propane-2-ol. **Conclusion**: The third statement is **correct**. ### Step 4: Analyze the Fourth Statement - The fourth statement claims that the IUPAC name of CH3CN is ethane nitrile. - CH3CN contains a nitrile group (C≡N) and two carbon atoms. - The correct IUPAC name for CH3CN is indeed ethane nitrile, and it is also known as acetonitrile. **Conclusion**: The fourth statement is **correct**. ### Final Conclusion - The correct statements are the **third** and **fourth** statements. ### Summary of Correct Statements - **Correct Statements**: 3 and 4 - **Incorrect Statements**: 1 and 2 ---
