Topic: Alkanes Do Now: Draw the possible bonds a single carbon atom can have if it has a bonding capacity of 4
2
Alkanes Homologous series of saturated hydrocarbons Release energy when burned C n H 2n+2 – all have this general formula CH 4 H H–C–H H C 2 H 6 H H H–C–C–H H H
3
Saturated hydrocarbons S Saturated hydrocarbons: organic compounds containing only Single bonds – can’t add any more Hydrogens
4
Alkanes (C n H 2n+2 ) C 3 H 8 H H H H–C–C–C–H H H H CH 3 CH 2 CH 3 Chemical Formula Structural Formula Condensed Structural Formula
5
straight-chain alkane C 4 H 10 H H H–C–C–C–C–H H H Or CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 CH 3
6
Naming straight-chain Alkanes Name: describes molecule so can draw it aneane all alkanes have the suffix –ane prefix: tells # of C ’ s

8
Naming Branched-Chain Alkanes goal of name is to describe molecule so you can draw it
9
Naming branched-chain alkanes longest continuous chain 1.Find longest continuous chain of C atoms - Bends don ’ t matter!
10
2. base name 2. base name derived from # C ’ s in continuous chain 9 carbon chain =nonane
11
3. 3. Branches named first and in alphabetical order * to name branches, count # C atoms & add “yl” to prefix name * If more than one of same type of branch - use di, tri, etc. ethyl methyl propyl triethyl, methyl, propyl
12
Assign number to Branches Assign number to Branches based on longest carbon chain * you want numbers to add up to the lowest # ethyl methyl propyl 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 4, 4, 5, 5, 6 = add up = 24
13
Assign number to Branches Assign number to Branches based on longest carbon chain * you want numbers to add up to the lowest # ethyl methyl propyl 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 4, 5, 5, 6, 6 = add up = 26
14
4. Put it all together. Note, branches are listed in abc order ethyl methyl propyl 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 3. 4, 4, 5, 5, 6 2. triethyl, methyl, propyl 1. nonane nonane4,4,6-triethyl 5-methyl 5-propyl

H H–C–H H H–C–C–C–H H H H 2-methyl propane No because if methyl was anywhere else it wouldn’t be propane propane Longest continuous chain has 3 carbon atoms – propane 1 2 3 Methyl propane C 4 H 10 CH 3 CH(CH 3 )CH 3
