Characterize EACH of the three given statements as being TRUE or FALSE and then indicate the collective true-false status of the statements using the choices: (1) Both 3-ethyl-2-methylnonane and 3-propyl-2-methylnonane are correct IUPAC names for alkanes.
(2) CFCs are halogenated hydrocarbons in which both Cl and F are present.
(3) The simplest family of unsaturated hydrocarbons is the alkanes.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

- Statement 1 is true because both names correctly follow IUPAC naming conventions for alkanes, indicating different substituents on a nonane backbone.- Statement 2 is true as CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) indeed are halogenated hydrocarbons containing both chlorine (Cl) and fluorine (F).- Statement 3 is false because the simplest family of unsaturated hydrocarbons is the alkenes, not alkanes. Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons.
