Drawing Lewis structure molecules and ions (Review)
1) Add all valence electron of atoms in the molecule from the formula.
2) Add the ion charge for negative ions or subtract for positive ions.
3) Draw the skeletal structure by connecting the atoms with single
bonds.
4) Give each of the atoms an octet (8 e-). Adding unshared pairs of
electrons
5) Count the total number of e- used through step 4 and compare to
the number calculated in

Types of formula for organic compounds
Chemical formula: Indicate the kind and number of each type of
atom in the molecule.
Condensed formula: Shows skeletal atoms in a molecule and
places them in a sequential order that indicates bonding.
Structural formula: Shows each atom and bonds in a molecule.
Line-angle formula: The hydrogen atoms are removed from
carbon chains, leaving just a carbon line skeleton with functional
groups attached to it.
Alicyclic Alkanes
Are saturated hydrocarbons:
Noncyclic alkanes: General molecular formula, CnH2n+2

Rules of IUPAC Nomenclature of Branched Alkanes
Parent name: the longest carbon chain
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- written in alphabetical
order
CH4 becomes CH3- (methyl)
CH3CH3 becomes CH3CH2- (ethyl)
Prefixes: di-, tri-, tetra-, etc. are not included in
alphabetization
