branched chain structure
ring structure
What are the 3 steps to naming Alkanes
1) find the longest carbon chain
2) number the carbon chain so we have the most substituents and lowest number at each substituent
3) identify the type of substituent
how to name an Alkane with 1 substituent
number - substituent + longest carbon chain
2-methylbutane
how to name an Alkane with 2 of the same substituents
number, number - prefix + substituent + longest carbon chain
2,3-dimethylpentane
how to name an Alkane with 2 different substituents
number - substituent - number - substituent + longest carbon chain
what order do you name an alkane with 2 different substituents
alphabetical order
- (don't order them by the lowest substituents number)
3-ethyl-4-methylheptane
