Q

Where and what are conformers

A

Found in alkane arrangements

When an atom had different rotational forms because of free rotation around a single bond

21
Q

What is the formula for alkanes

A

CnH2n+2

22
Q

What do prefixes represent

A

The number of carbon atoms

23
Q

What does the -ane -ene and -yne represent

A

The hydrocarbon class

24
Q

What is a structural isomer

A

A molecule of a hydrocarbons that has many different forms

25
Q

What is a methyl group

A

-CH3 group

It is derived from by the deletion of the -ane ending and the addition of -yl (the alkyl group is the opposite)

26
Q

How to write the name of 2,2,4-trimethylpentane

A

1) draw longest chain
2) # Cs
3) add side chains (so first one is the lowest number)
4) add Hs

27
Q

What are Alkenes

A

Unsaturated hydrocarbons
May have geometric isomers
Use the -ene ending
If more than one possible location for the double bond numbers are used for its location

28
Q

What is the formula for Alkene

A

CnH2n

29
Q

When does cis or trans not get used when talking about Alkenes?

A

When A=B or D=E

30
Q

What does cis or trans mean

A

Trans- longest line crosses the centre line

Cis- longest line stays on the same side

31
Q

What are Alkynes

A

Names are the same as alkanes but with a -yne ending

32
Q

What are cyclohexanes

A

A special RING for of alkane

33
Q

What are aromatic hydrocarbons

A

Based on a benzene ring which is a resonance structure
Electrons are shared around the ring structure
If more than 2 groups are attached then number must be used to name the molecule

34
Q

What does resonance structure mean?

A

Mix of 2 molecules (in aromatic hydrocarbons)

35
Q

What is delocalization

A

When electrons are shared around a ring

36
Q

What are Alkyl Halides

A

Alkanes with attached halogen atoms
Attached F,Cl, Br and I atoms are called “fluoro”, “chloro”, “bromo” and “iodo” groups
Use a number to indicate the position of the attached hydrocarbon chain, if more than one is present use prefix system
List the attached groups in alphabetical order
