Document Summary

Base name is the prefix for the number of carbons in the carbon chain, with the suffix. The first and last carbon atoms of the carbon chain join to form a ring structure. Name is the same as for a straight-chain alkane, except the prefix cyclo- is added. Ex: expanded and skeletal structures for cyclohexane: http://chemistry2. csudh. edu/rpendarvis/benzstr. html. In general, the carbon atoms in a ring structure still have a tetrahedral molecular geometry (109. 5 angles between bonds) In very small ring structures (cyclopropane or cyclobutane), the bonds become strained, which increases the reactivity of the molecule. Alkanes are generally unreactive compared to other hydrocarbons, as they have only. To produce carbon dioxide, water, and energy non-polar single bonds (exothermic reaction) C 4 + 2 2 c 2 + h 2 + e.
