For example:
Name an alkane with 2 carbon atoms:

ETHANE

ETH ANE
Root – denotes the
longest chain Ending – denotes the family. Ending of ‘ane’
means it is the family of alkane
The following are steps in naming a straight-chain alkane.
Step 1: Determine the number of carbon atoms in the alkane molecules.
Step 2: Select the correct root name based on the number of carbon atoms.
Step 3: Add the ending –‘ane’ to the selected root name.

Name the following alkanes:

Number of Prefix Name of Molecular Relative Molecular
C atom alkane formula mass [Ar: C,12; H,1]
1 Meth- Methane CH4 12 + (4 x 1) = 16
2 Eth-
3 Prop-
4 But-
5 Pent-
6 Hex-
7 Hept-
8 Oct-
9 Non-

a. number of complete oscillation in 1 seconds.
b. i. X>Y
ii. X > Y
iii. wavelength increase when depth of water increase
c. In deep sea region, the depth of sea water is unifrom, so velocity is the uniform,
wavefront is plane and parallel. When waves moves towards the shore, the depth
decreaser and velocity decrease. Refraction occurs and the waves refract
towards normal, following the shape of shore.
