HYDROCARBONS
ALKANE ALKENE ALKYNE
It is a hydrocarbon composed of single carbon-to-carbon covalent bonds. Saturated hydrocarbons The general formula for alkanes is C n H 2n+2 . Example: Methane ALKANE
Identify the longest chain of carbon atoms. Identify the name of the alkyl group. Number the chain of carbon atoms by starting from the end that is closer to the branch. Write first the alkyl alphabetically and indicate its number location before the parent hydrocarbon. Naming Alkane
Separate the number from the name/s of the alkyl group/s with a hyphen. If there is an alkyl or branch, identify the name of the alkyl and indicate its number location. Write the number location before the name of the alkyl and separate it with a hyphen. Naming Alkane
3-ethyl- 2,4-dimethylhexane
4-ethyl, 2-methylheptane
2,3-dimethylhexane
It possess rings of carbon atoms. They have the general formula C n H 2n . CYCLOALKANES
The same with the alkane, it ends with the suffix - ane except that the parent hydrocarbon precede with the prefix cyclo - . Number the ring of carbon atoms by starting from the carbon that is closer to the branch or t he carbon that contains the branch and write the number location and the name of the alkyl before the parent cyclic hydrocarbon. Naming Cycloalkanes
