HYDROCARBONS Carbon and Hydrogen atoms. Alkanes - carbons single bonded. name ends -ane formula = C n H 2n+2 name starts cyclo- in a ring

Hydrocarbon Drawings Condensed Structure CH 3 -CH 2 -CH 2 -CH 3 Carbon Skeleton C-C-C-C

Carbon Branches Carbons replace H’s on the chain/ring Alkyl groups 1 C = methyl 2 C = ethyl 3 C = propyl / isopropyl 4 C = butyl / sec-butyl / isobutyl / tert-butyl Benzene ring branch = phenyl

Unsaturated Hydrocarbons Alkenes - have 1 or more double bonded C’s name ends –ene Alkynes - have 1 or more triple bonded C’s name ends –yne Aromatics - contains a benzene ring, C 6 H 6 name ends -benzene
