CHEM 1002 Study Guide - Pentane, Substituent, Branch Point
Document Summary
Carbon is unique in that carbon atoms can bond to each other to form. Carbon always has _____ bonds total: carbon-based life. All forms of life on this planet are based on __________: aliphatic hydrocarbons: alkanes. Composed of two elements: _________ and _________. 3d shape of alkanes: _______________: naming alkanes. Prefix indicates the number of carbons (table 9. 1) Ex: pentane, octane, decane: condensed structural formulas. The general formula of alkanes is cnh2n+2. Fill in the remaining spaces with hydrogens: The molecular formula is: c9h2(9)+2= c9h20: homologous series (or length of chain) Alkane chains that are alike in composition, but differ in ___________________ Alkanes are members of a homologous series that changes by the number of. Members of a homologous series exhibit properties that vary in a regular and. Length of chain determines boiling/melting point (table 9. 3): Isomers have the same ____________________, but the molecules have different.
