ch. 21 Flashcards
organic compound
mostly C,H
line notation is used
line notation
omit symbols for C,H
each line is a bond
fill in H to give C 4 bonds
alkane properties
unsaturated and saturated hydrocarbons
properties :
IMFs = LDF, BP relatively low, VP relatively high
insoluble in water
increasing MM increases BP and VP
saturated vs unsaturated hydrocarbons
saturated hydrocarbons = no multiple bonds
unsaturated hydrocarbon = has multiple bonds (double/triple)
how do we get from unsaturated to saturated hydrocarbons and vise versa
hydrogenation (add H2)
opposite = dehydrogenation
naming regular alkanes
end with “ane”
state number of carbons using the following
1 = meth
2 = eth
3 = prop
4 = but
5 = pent
naming branched alkanes
- find longest carbon chain, name using prefix and ending in “ane”
- name each branch ending in “yl” (use prefix)
- if multiple branches, use prefix 2 = di, 3 = tri, 4 = tetra
- count #Cs in chain so the branch is nearest to #1
- Write name as C# - branch name base name, “ane”

which has the lowest BP
methane
pentane
IMF, MM lower
between compounds with the same number of C. two with branching and one without, what has the highest BP
IMF and MM the same, so the one with the least amount of branching
how to name multiple bonds
DOUBLE BONDS = alkene
- end in “ene”
triple bond = alkyne
- end in “yne”
- C# is where the bond starts (lowest C#)
if multiple multiple bonds, how to name
use prefix 2 - di, 3 - tri, 4 - tetra
multiple bond must be in main chain
isomers
same # and type of atoms
geometric –> cis/trans
optical –> nonsuperimposable mirror image
naming geometric isomers
cis isomer add cis to beginning
cis-2-pentene
trans isomer add trans to beginning
trans-2-pentene
asymmetric optical isomers
when atom is bonded to 4 different groups
