Constitutional Isomer
Same molecular formula different structural formula, molecular formula increases # of isomers
Alkyl Group
Derived from Alkane, drop ane add yl
Saturated vs Not Saturated
Alkanes Saturated
Alkenes not saturated
Iso shows that one end of an unbranded chain ends in
(CH3)2CH
cyclic hydrocarbons
hydrocarbons with carbon atoms joined for form a ring
cycloalkane:
cyclic hydrocarbons when all carbons are saturated
Most stable number of carbons in a cyclic hydrocarbon
5-6
Molecular Formula of Cyclic Hydrocarbon
CnH2n
Bond angle of cyclic hydrocarbon
109.5
Most important physical property of alkanes and cycloalkanes is
nearly complete lack of polarity
C-H bond is a
non polar covalent
Alkanes are
non polar compounds with weak molecular forces, low boiling points, not soluble in polar water
Physical states of Alkanes (number of carbons)
1-4 carbons gas
5-17 carbons liquid
17+ solid
Melting point and boiling point increase with
the higher number of carbons in a chain
Consitutional isomers have different or similar chemical and physical properties
Different
Alkanes not very reactive but go through
br2 fl2…
combustion and halogenation
Heat or light needed to push the reaction forward is called
Halogenation (not spontaneous)
Halogenated Alkanes:
(naming) halogens
Bromine – Bromo
Chlorine – Chloro
Flourine – fluoro
Iodine – Iodo
