Quiz #1

Functional group

• alkane (alkyl): sp3 carbons with hydrogen attached.
• alcohol: sp3 oxygen with hydrogen attached, attached to an alkyl group
• See/learn name and structure of the functional groups in table 3.1; exclude:
  • sulfoxides
  • sulfone
  • ester
  • amide
  • carboxilyi acid chl
  • " an..

Hydrocarbons

• contain hydrogen and carbon
• alkanes: single bonded carbon
• alkenes: must have at least 1 double bond between C
• alkynes: must have at least 1 triple bond between C
• aromatic: rings C-C=C-C=C-C=(first)…if add just H then you have benzene

CH4: methane

C2H6: ethane

C3H8: propane

C4H10: butane…H3C:H2C:H2C:CH3 or H3C:H2C/H3C/CH3

C5H12: pentanes

C6: hexanes

…

c10: decane

do not have to worry about any after C10

all have ane suffix

root is greek prefix

Parent chain: longest carbon chain in the molecule

• substituents are 'sub-chains' that hang off the sides
• 
  

IUPAC rules: how you name structures

• one to one correspondence between name and structure

Alkyl substituents

• methane; chop off hydrogen, and you have a methyl group.
• can do same with butane, etc!

CnH(2n+2) is the formula is for carbon chains
