Naming Organic Compounds Hydrocarbons These are the simplest of organic compounds. They contain only hydrogen and carbon.

Naming Organic Compounds Hydrocarbons They can initially be classified into three groups depending on the number of covalent bonds. These are: The Alkanes

Naming Organic Compounds Hydrocarbons They can initially be classified into three groups depending on the number of covalent bonds. These are: The Alkanes The Alkenes

Naming Organic Compounds Hydrocarbons They can initially be classified into three groups depending on the number of covalent bonds. These are: The Alkanes The Alkenes The Alkynes

Naming Organic Compounds The alkanes have only single covalent bonds between the carbon atoms. C-C C-C-C C-C-C-C

Naming Organic Compounds The prefix of the name denotes the number of carbon atoms in the hydrocarbon chain. This is found on Table P

Naming Organic Compounds Using Table P, what prefix would you use for C-C

Naming Organic Compounds Using Table P, what prefix would you use for C-C Eth C-C-C

Naming Organic Compounds Using Table P, what prefix would you use for C-C Eth C-C-C Prop C-C-C-C

Naming Organic Compounds Using Table P, what prefix would you use for C-C Eth C-C-C Prop C-C-C-C But

Naming Organic Compounds Since the carbons only have single covalent bonds, the name would end with the suffix ane C-C C-C-C C-C-C-C

Naming Organic Compounds This would then be called Ethane. Its molecular formula would be C 2 H 6

Naming Organic Compounds This would then be called Propane. Its molecular formula would be C 3 H 8

Naming Organic Compounds This would then be called Butane. Its molecular formula would be C 4 H 10

Naming Organic Compounds The alkenes have at least one double covalent bond between adjacent carbon atoms. C=C C=C-C C=C-C-C C-C=C-C

Naming Organic Compounds What prefix would you use to name each one of these hydrocarbons? What suffix would you use? C=C C=C-C C=C-C-C C-C=C-C

Naming Organic Compounds What prefix would you use to name each one of these hydrocarbons? What suffix would you use? C=C Eth C=C-C C=C-C-C C-C=C-C

Naming Organic Compounds What prefix would you use to name each one of these hydrocarbons? What suffix would you use? C=C Eth C=C-C Prop C=C-C-C C-C=C-C

Naming Organic Compounds What prefix would you use to name each one of these hydrocarbons? What suffix would you use? C=C Eth C=C-C Prop C=C-C-C But C-C=C-C

Naming Organic Compounds What prefix would you use to name each one of these hydrocarbons? What suffix would you use? C=C Eth C=C-C Prop C=C-C-C But C-C=C-C But

Naming Organic Compounds What prefix would you use to name each one of these hydrocarbons? What suffix would you use? Ene How would you distinguish between these two? C=C Ethene C=C-C Propene C=C-C-C Butene C-C=C-C Butene

Naming Organic Compounds Number the carbon atoms to give the lowest number to one of the carbons containing the double bond. 1-Butene 2-Butene C=C Ethene C=C-C Propene C=C-C-C Butene C-C=C-C Butene

Naming Organic Compounds Try these twoC-C-C=C-C-C C-C=C-C-C-C

Naming Organic Compounds Try these two 3-Hexene 2-Hexene C-C-C=C-C-C C-C=C-C-C-C

Naming Organic Compounds The alkynes have at least one triple covalent bond between adjacent carbon atoms.
