Carbon can produce millions of molecules is related to its electron structure. Each carbon has four electrons available for bonding which can be shared in four covalent bonds with other atoms.
They can lin with other atoms in single bonds/double/triple bonds
Alkanes
- are a hydrocarbon in single bonds
- non polar molecules
- saturated: not possible for another atom to bond to the structure
- end in ane
- formula: CnH2n+2
- can have side branched called substituted hydrocarbons
- alkyl group: an alkane which has lost 1 hydrogen can be attached to them
- alkyl goup cannot esist by themselves, they must be attached to a larger hydrocarbon
- the longest chain of carbon determines the parent name of the hydrocarbon
- carbons in the parent are numbered consecutively so that groups are indicated by the lowest numbers
- the position of each attached group is indicated by a number
- if there aremorethan 1 type of alkyl goup, list them alphabetically, put its position number in fount, put a dash between each alkayl
nice video to watch
