Q

isomer

A

compound w same molecular formula different structure

17
Q

condensed formula

A

like this CH3CH2CH2CH3

18
Q

conformer

A

don’t be fooled; two compounds that are conformers are the same

19
Q

alkane naming the IUPAC way

A

1-name the longest branch
2-number the carbons so the branches have the lowest number, with cyclic alkanes start the numbering with alphabetically appropriate substituent group and then go around so the other substituent has the lowest number
3- ID each branch w corresponding numbered Carbon
4. Follow format Prefix-Parent with right suffix

ex. 3-ethyl-3-methylhexane

20
Q

alkane common reactions

A

combustion

halogenation
