  1. Organic Compounds

  2. Carbon always has 4 bonds

  3. Representing Organic Compounds • Molecular Formula -- C4H10 • Complete structural formula – • Condensed structural formula – • Line formula -

  4. Isomers - Compounds that have the same molecular formula but different structural formulas. Isomers of Octane

  5. Isomers of Heptane n-heptane 2-methyl hexane 3-methyl hexane 2,4-dimethyl pentane 2,3-dimethyl pentane 2,2-dimethyl pentane 3-ethyl pentane 3,3-dimethyl pentane 2,3,3-trimethyl butane

  6. Nomenclature – alkanes • Find the longest chain of carbon atoms --- this is the base name of the alkane. • Alkyl groups branch off of the main chain • Main chain is numbered to show where alkyl groups are attached.

  7. Name this compound

  8. Longest chain highlighted

  9. 2 carbon group attached to main chain

  10. 3-ethyl hexane

  11. 4-ethyl-2-methyl heptane

  12. Cycloalkanes

  13. Alkenes – double bonds

  14. Alkynes – triple bonds

  15. Properties of Alkanes • Methane (CH4), propane (C3H8), and butane(C4H10) are all used as fuels. • Cyclopropane (C3H6) is a safe, effective, and fast acting anesthetic. • Pyrethrins are cyclopropane derivatives found in the pyrethrum daisy which have insecticidal activity. Pyrethrins are frequently used in flea sprays.

  16. Properties of Alkanes • Cyclopropane (C3H6) is a safe, effective, and fast acting anesthetic. • Pyrethrins are cyclopropane derivatives found in the pyrethrum daisy which have insecticidal activity. Pyrethrins are frequently used in flea sprays.

  17. Properties of Alkanes • Liquid alkanes (gasoline) dissolve and wash away oils. • Solid alkanes make up the waxy coating on fruits and vegetables. They are also applied to the skin as emollients (skin softeners).

  18. Unsaturated Hydrocarbons Ethene used to ripen fruit.

  19. How do soaps work??
