Week 3 Day 1 Flashcards
Alkanes

Contain carbon-carbon single bonds and carbon-hydrogen bonds
BP increases with increasing molecular weight, so larger Alkanes are less volatile than smaller ones
methane
CH4
Ethane
C2H6
Propane
C3H8
Butane
C4H10
Pentane
C5H12
Hexane
C6H14
Heptane
C7H16
Octane
C8H18
Nonane
C9H20
Alkyl
An Alkane minus a Hydrogen. In place of Hydrogen, the alkyl will bond to something else.

How to name alkanes
- name the longest alkane. This is the parent chain
- name the substituent alkyl groups in alphabetical order
- us multipliers to indicate number of identical substituents (di, tri, tetra, penta)
- number the parent chain from the end. Start on side with substituents closest to the edge.
- Number the substituents
cycloalkanes
Alkanes that form a ring.
Prefix name with “cyclo-“

Alkene
Contain at least one carbon-carbone double bond as well as carbon-hydrogen bonds.
