that have a characteristic
behavior in all molecules
where it occurs

2.2 Alkanes and Alkane Isomers
n Alkanes: Compounds with C-C single bonds and C-H
bonds only (no functional groups)
n Alkanes are often described as satured hidrocarbons
n Connecting carbons can lead to large or small molecules
n The formula for an alkane with no rings in it must be
CnH2n+2 where the number of Cs is n
n Alkanes are saturated with hydrogen (no more can be
added
n They are also called aliphatic compounds
12

Alkanes structure

Alkane Isomers
n CH4 = methane, C2H6 = ethane, C3H8= propane
n The molecular formula of an alkane with more than
three carbons can give more than one structure
n C4 (butane) = butane and isobutane
n C5 (pentane) = pentane, 2-methylbutane, and 2,2-
dimethylpropane
n Alkanes with Cs connected to no more than 2 other
Cs are straight-chain or normal alkanes
n Alkanes with one or more Cs connected to 3 or 4 Cs
are branched-chain alkanes
15
Constitutional Isomers
n Isomers that differ in how their atoms are arranged in
chains are called constitutional isomers
n Compounds other than alkanes can be
constitutional isomers of one another
n They must have the same molecular formula to be
isomers
16
Condensed Structures of Alkanes
n We can represent an alkane in a brief form or in
many types of extended form
n A condensed structure does not show bonds but lists
atoms, such as
n CH3CH2CH2CH3 (butane)
n CH3(CH2)2CH3 (butane)
17
18
Alkyl Groups
n Alkyl group remove
one H from an alkane (a
part of a structure)
n General abbreviation R
(for Radical, an
incomplete species or the
rest of the molecule)
n Name: replace -ane
ending of alkane with -yl
ending
n -CH3 is methyl (from
methane)
n -CH2CH3 is ethyl from
ethane

Types of Alkyl groups
n Classified by the connection site
n a carbon at the end of a chain (primary alkyl group)
n a carbon in the middle of a chain (secondary alkyl
group)
n a carbon with three carbons attached to it (tertiary alkyl
group)
R (alkyl group)

Example:
n Propose structure for two isomers C2H6O
- C : 4 bonds
- O : -O-H or C-O-C
- possible structure :

2.3 Naming Branched-Chain Alkanes
n Compounds are given systematic names by a process that uses
24
1. Find the Parent: longest continuous carbon chain
25
2. Number the atoms in the chain
26
3. Identify &
number the
substituents
27
4. Write the name
28
Rules for naming Branched Alkanes (or drawing
structure from name)
Find the longest chain and name it as a straight chain alkane
Name substituents as alkyl groups
Number the main chain starting from the end closest to a substituent
Write the name
Alphabetize by sub. (di-, tri-count only if part of sub. name)
Order #s from low to high; use smallest possible numbers
Capitalize the first letter only
Write as one word with commas and hyphens as needed
Complex substituents in parentheses

2.4 Properties of Alkanes
n Petroleum is a complex mixture of HK that must be
seperated into various fractions than refined before it
can be used
36
2.4 Properties of Alkanes
n Called paraffins (low affinity compounds) because
they do not react as most chemicals
n They will burn in a flame, producing carbon dioxide,
water, and heat
37
Physical Properties
n Boiling points and melting points increase as size of
alkane increases
n Dispersion forces increase as molecule size
increases, resulting in higher melting and boiling
points
38
2.5 Conformations of Ethane
n Stereochemistry concerned with the 3-D
aspects of molecules
n bonds are cylindrically symmetrical
n Rotation is possible around C-C bonds in
open-chain molecules
39
Conformers
n Conformation- Different arrangement of
atoms resulting from bond rotation
n Conformations can be represented in 2 ways:
40
Torsional Strain
n We do not observe perfectly free rotation
n There is a barrier to rotation, and some
conformers are more stable than others
n Staggered- most stable: all 6 C-H bonds are
as far away as possible
n Eclipsed- least stable: all 6 C-H bonds are as
close as possible to each other

2.6 Drawing Chemical Structure
n A line between atoms: 2 electrones in covalent
bonding
n Drawing skeletal structures :
1. Carbon atoms ussually arent shown. A carbon
atoms is assumed to be at the intersection of two
lines (bonds) and at the end of each line.
2. Hydrogen atoms bonded to carbon arent shown.
3. All atoms other than C and H are shown
43
n Group: -CH3, -OH, and NH2 are ussually
written with C, O, or N atom first and the H
atom second. (H3C-; HO-; H2N-)
n If larger units such as CH2CH3 are not
inverted.

Problem:
n Convert the following skeletal structure into molecule structure
and tell how many H atoms are bonded to each carbon:
45
2.7 Cycloalkanes
n Satured cyclic HK are called cycloalkanes or
alicyclic (aliphatic cyclic).
n Formula : (CH2)n or CnH2n
46
Rules of naming Subtituted
Cycloalkanes
n Find the parent : count the number of C in the ring and the number of
the largest substituent chain.
C in the ring > substituent : alkyl-subtituted cycloalkane
C in the ring < substituent : cycloalkane- subtituted alkyl.
