Alkanes • Remember: • 1) saturated- all single covalent bonds and carbon bonded to 4 atoms • 2) CnH2n+2
Straight chain alkanes • All carbons in a row • Which is the straight chain form of butane?
Branched-chain alkanes • All the carbons are not in a row. • Which is the branched-chain for of butane?
Isomers • Molecules with the same molecular formulas but different arrangement of atoms. • Must have at least 4 carbons
