Document Summary

Alkanes and cycloalkanes: hydrocarbons- c & h (mostly contain only h & c, saturated hydrocarbons- only single bonds, alkanes & cycloalkanes, cnh2n+2, carbons are sp3 hybridized, tetrahedral shape, 109. 5o bond angles. Iupac = international union of pure and applied chemistry: substituents--parent, parent name: the longest carbon chain, prefix- the number of carbons in the parent chain. Suffix- class of compound (functional group: substituent: a group bonded to the parent chain, alkyl group- a substituent derived by removal of a hydrogen from an alkane; given the symbol r, substituents--prefix--an--e. Identify and name longest chain in molecule (parent) Identify functional groups for infix and suffix (-ane for alkanes: number parent chain. If two, non-equivalent ways to number, start at end closest to substituent: name substituents and address using numbers (hyphenated, list substituents in alphabetical order. If only one substituent, no need to give it a number. If two substituents, number from the substituent of lower alphabetical order.
