CHEM1161 Lecture Notes - Pearson Education, Aldehyde, Pentane
Document Summary
Inorganic if carbon is not present (salts, nonmetals bonding with metals, ionic compounds: alkanes/cycloalkanes, alkanes carbons bonded to each other, cycloalkane two carbons bonded to each other to form a cycle, lewis structure , condensed formula, skeletal formula, condensed formula carbon and hydrogen atoms with hyphens, skeletal formula you draw zigzags for each carbon, each point stands for a carbon. Substituents and alkyl groups: substituents are atoms or groups of atoms attached to the carbon chain and include alkyl and halo groups, alkyl groups are carbon branches attached to carbon chains named with a yl ending, halo substituents are halogens attached to the carbon chain named as fluoro, chloro, bromo, or iodo. Alkanes with one to four carbons are gases at room temperature and are widely used as heating fuels. Alkanes with five to eight carbons are highly volatile liquids at room temperature, making them useful in fuels such as gasoline. pentane, hexane, heptane, octane.
