To determine which of the given compounds is trans-3-hexene, we need to understand its structure. Trans-3-hexene is an alkene with a double bond between the third and fourth carbon atoms in the carbon chain, and it has two substituents on opposite sides of the double bond, making it a trans isomer.
Here is the step-by-step breakdown of the structure of trans-3-hexene:
1. Hexene refers to a six-carbon chain with at least one double bond (“ene”).
2. The “3” in trans-3-hexene indicates that the double bond is located between the third and fourth carbon atoms of the chain.
3. The "trans" designation means the substituents (other carbon atoms or hydrogen atoms) attached to the carbons involved in the double bond are on opposite sides.
So, the detailed structure of trans-3-hexene would look like this:
- When drawing the structure, ensure the double bond is between the 3rd and 4th carbon atoms.
- For trans isomers, one substituent on the third carbon will be on the opposite side of the double bond from the substituent on the fourth carbon.
The correct structure of trans-3-hexene is as follows:
[tex]\[ \text{CH}_3 \text{CH}_2 - \text{CH} = \text{CH} - \text{CH}_2 \text{CH}_3 \][/tex]
None of the choices provided match this entirely but let us match the closest representation:
- The given choices come with some confusion due to formatting, but arranging them properly, the closest match would have:
- The ether proper [tex]\[\text{CH}_3 \text{CH}_2 \text{CH} - \text{CH} = \text{CH} - \text{CH}_3\][/tex]
This conforms to structure as mentioned in problem.
So, the correct representation for trans-3-hexene among the given compounds is the choice that matches this configuration. This importantly implies none of the options explicitly match side/format/structure given.
The result is identified as:
```
CH3CH2-CH=CH-CH2CH3 ( in ether alike respectively)
