How to name chain alkane isomers
-Find name of longest chain
-Name of side chain
-Find which number of carbon side chain is attached to
Name structure of chain alkane isomers
Side chains (in alphabetical order), main chain
Define general formula
Represent any member of a homologous series
Define full structural formula
Shows all atoms and bonds in the compound
Define shortened structural formula
Does not show all/any bonds in the compound
e.g. CH3CH(CH3)CH3
Define skeletal formula
Represents the carbon-carbon bonds in the hydrocarbon
Define aromatic
Compounds containing one or more benzene rings
Define aliphatic
Compounds that do not contain benzene rings
Define structural isomers
Same molecular formula, but atoms are bonded in a different order
What are the different types of structural isomers?
-Chain isomer
-Position isomer
-Functional group isomer
Define chain isomer
Different lengths and branch positions
Define position isomer
Functional groups attached to different carbons
Define functional group isomer
Molecule has different functional groups
