ORGANIC CHEMISTRY ISU TOPIC: ALKANES Submitted to: Mr. Ram Submitted by: Patrick Do Course Code: SCH4U1 - 02 Date: Thursday February 14, 2013 Alkanes have no functional groups. They are essentially made up of carbon and hydrogen bonded together through single bonds. Alkanes can appear as alkyl groups. The general structure of an alkane is CnH2n+2. a) Straight chain alkanes: Number of Carbons Name of Compound Condensed Formula 1 Methane CH4 2 Ethane CH3 - CH3 3 Propane CH3 - CH2 - CH3 4 Butane CH3 - CH3 - CH3 - CH3 5 Pentane CH3 - CH3 - CH3 - CH3 - CH3 b) Branched alkanes: Number of Carbons Name of Compound Condensed Formula 4 Isobutane (2-methyl propane) CH3 | CH3 - CH - CH3 5 Isopentane

Organic Chemistry Name: _______________________ organic chemistry: the study of carbon-containing compounds -- hydrocarbons: compounds containing only hydrogen and carbon alkanes: contain only single bonds alkenes (olefins): contain at least one C=C double bond alkynes: contain at least one carbon-carbon triple bond aromatic hydrocarbons: benzene-based -- structural isomers: compounds with the same molecular formula but different bonding arrangements e.g., C4H10 Organic Nomenclature Memorize the first ten prefixes. 1 = meth-, 2 = eth-, 3 = prop-, 4 = but-, 5 = pent-, 6 = hex-, 7 = hept-, 8 = oct-, 9 = non-, 10 = dec- NOTE: Hydrocarbon substituent groups use these prefixes and end in –yl.
