• Instead of drawing the bonds, just state how
many hydrogens are attached
• NOTE: The bonds are between CARBONS in a
parent chain, and not hydrogens!

Chemists needed to expand the system of nomenclature to
allow naming of individual structural isomers
•Compounds without branches are called ‘straight chain’ alkanes
•Branched compounds are named as derivatives of the longest
straight chain in the molecule
•The length of the longest chain provides the parent name
•The straight chain is numbered to allow indication of the point
of branching
•The branches are named from the corresponding alkanes
Naming the branches

IUPAC rules for naming alkanes:
1. parent chain = longest continuous carbon chain  “alkane”.
2. branches on the parent chain are named as “alkyl” groups.
3. number the parent chain starting from the end that gives you
the lower number for the first branch (principle of lower
number).
4. assign numbers to the alkyl branches to show where they are in
the parent chain
5. if an alkyl group appears more than once use prefixes: di, tri,
tetra, penta…; each alkyl group must have a number!
6. the name is written as one word with the parent name last. The
names and locants for the alkyl branches are put in alphabetic
order (ignore all prefixes) separating numbers from numbers
with commas and letters from numbers with hyphens.
Step 1. Find the parent chain.
• Where is the longest continuous chain of
carbons?
Step 2. Number the parent chain.
• Number the parent chain so that the attached
groups are on the lowest numbers
Methyl is on carbon #2 of the parent chain
Methyl is on carbon #4 of the parent chain

Draw Some Simple Alkanes

• 2,3-dimethylbutane
Alkanes
• Now that we know how to name
alkanes, let’s learn something about
their chemical properties.
Alkanes – chemical properties
• The main chemical property of alkanes is that they
have very low reactivity.
• Why? Know these two reasons:
1. Ionic and polar compounds tend to be more
reactive than non-polar compounds.
Non-polar compounds don’t attract other molecules
to react with.
2. C-C and C-H bonds are relatively strong. It takes a
lot of energy to break them.
Alkanes – chemical properties
•
The net effect is that alkanes have a fairly
restricted set of reactions.
You can:
1. burn them - destroying the whole molecule
2. react them with some of the halogens,
breaking carbon-hydrogen bonds;
3. crack them, breaking carbon-carbon bonds.
Cracking?
• Cracking is the name given to breaking up
large hydrocarbon molecules into smaller and
more useful bits.
Cracking
• There isn't any single unique reaction
happening in the cracker. The hydrocarbon
molecules are broken up in a fairly random
way to produce mixtures of smaller
hydrocarbons, some of which have carboncarbon double bonds. One possible reaction
involving the might be:
Alkanes – chemical properties
• One chemical reaction that alkanes will readily
undergo is combustion!
• CH4 is methane – a main component of natural gas.
Used to heat homes.
• C2H4 (ethane) is also a main component of natural
gas.
• C3H8 (propane) – sold as fuel for camp stoves
• C4H8 (butane) – used in lighters
• C8H18 (octane) – major component of gasoline
New topic: Functional Groups
Functional Groups
• As we’ve seen, alkanes don’t do much, except
burn.
• The chemistry of hydrocarbons is really
controlled by what is attached to the alkanes.
• Those attachments are called functional
groups.

Naming Alkenes & Alkynes
Using the IUPAC alkane names:
Alkene names change the end to -ene.
Alkyne names change the end to -yne
Ignore the names in parentheses – those are the old-fashioned names from before the naming rules!
IUPAC Nomenclature for alkenes
• Parent is longest chain containing the double
bond.
• -ane changes to -ene.
• Number the chain so that the double bond
has the lowest possible number.

Reactions of alkenes and alkynes
• The presence of a double or triple bond in a
hydrocarbon makes them much more
reactive.
• The double or triple bond indicates the
presence of extra electrons, providing a good
site for reactivity.
Addition reactions of alkenes and alkynes
• In addition reactions, a reactant is added to the two
atoms that form the multiple bond.
• Example: Reaction of ethene with bromine:
Addition of hydrogen:
• Hydrogenation
• Hydrogenation of alkenes produces the
corresponding alkanes.
CH2=CH2 + H2 → CH3-CH3
Hydrogenation
Notice that the reactant can hold extra hydrogens,
but the product is full of hydrogen.
Hydrogenation
• Hydrogenation turns unsaturated hydrocarbons into
saturated hydrocarbons
• Saturated?
• Remember what a saturated solution is? (It’s holding
all the solute it can possibly hold.)
• A saturated hydrocarbon is holding all the hydrogens
it can possibly hold.
• Saturated hydrocarbons are alkanes – no double or
triple bonds!
• Unsaturated hydrocarbons are alkenes or alkynes –
more hydrogen could be added.
Saturated and unsaturated
hydrocarbons
A related term: saturated fat
Saturated fats don’t have any double
bonds.
Monounsaturated fats have one double bond,
polyunsaturated have more than one double bond.
Saturated and unsaturated fats
• When one of the carbon bonds in the chain is a
double bond, there are two less hydrogens than
there would be in a saturated fat, so it is called a
mono-unsaturated fat. When there is more than one
double bond it is called a poly-unsaturated fat.
• Unsaturated fats are better than saturated because
the body can break them down easier and so they
are used more quickly in the body’s metabolism.
