1.State whether the carbon atom labelled with an asterisk (*) is
2.Polymer P is produced via the addition polymerisation of compound A.
.1.Draw the full structural formula of compound A.
.2.Compound A has two structural isomers that contain the same functional groups. State the IUPAC names of compound A and both structural isomers.
Compound A = but-
-ene;Isomers = but-
-ene
.3.State the observation when compound A is mixed with aqueous bromine.
.4.An organic compound can also be identified by measuring the mass of carbon dioxide and water produced when each gram of the compound undergoes complete combustion. The equation for the combustion of another compound B is shown.
B + 12$O_2$ → 8$CO_2$ +8$H_2O$
Explain why compound A could not be distinguished from compound B using this method.
