    Organic Chemistry (Alkane, Alkene and Alkyne)

    Uploaded by

    Dazell Varron
    This document discusses alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes. It defines organic chemistry as the study of carbon compounds associated with living things. Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons containing single bonds. Alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons containing double bonds. Alkynes are also unsaturated but contain triple bonds. The document explains how to name these compounds based on their carbon chain length and functional groups using IUPAC nomenclature. Examples are provided to illustrate naming branched alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes. Formulas can be written linearly or using structural diagrams.

    ALKANES, ALKENE and ALKYNES

    What is Organic Chemistry?


     It is generally a study of the element carbon and its compounds. It is the chemistry
    associated with all living matter in both plants and animals.
    Comparison of Organic and Inorganic Compounds

    Organic Compounds Inorganic Compounds


    Formed by covalent bonds Joined by electrovalent or ionic bond
    Burn readily Usually incombustible
    Less soluble in water Solubility is independent
    Less stable in heat More stable in heat
    Less reactive Readily ionize when in solution
    More reactive

    Nomenclature of Organic Compounds


    Alkyl Groups- are attached to other atoms or groups of atoms
    A. ALKANES (CnH2n+2)- Saturated Hydrocarbon
     Determine the number of carbons in the structure of the alkanes. (Find the longest
    chain)
     Use the prefix in naming the alkanes with the ending -ane.
     For branched alkanes, it is name using the continuous chain and is numbered from the
    nearest branched end. (Each carbon atoms have 4 hydrogen bonds)
     Groups are listed alphabetically as modifiers of the trunk.
     The name of the group is preceded by a number indicating the position of the group in
    the trunk.
     Contain SINGLE BOND.

     Each carbon atom has 4 hydrogen bonds.


    Example of Naming the Alkane Branch Chain

    ALKENES (CnH 2n) - Unsaturated Hydrocarbon


     Determine the number of carbons in the structure of the alkenes. (Find the longest
    chain)
     Use the prefix in naming the alkenes with the ending -ene.
     The double bond in the structure of alkene must be indicated with a number to denote
    its position. The alkene is numbered from the nearest double bond of the structure.
     For branched alkenes, it is name using the continuous chain and is numbered from the
    nearest double bond. (Each carbon atoms have 4 hydrogen bonds)
     Groups are listed alphabetically as modifiers of the trunk.
     The name of the group is preceded by a number indicating the position of the group in
    the trunk.
     Contains DOUBLE BONDS.
    Example of Naming the Alkene Branch Chain
    Alkynes (CnH2n−2)- Unsaturated Hydrocarbon
     Determine the number of carbons in the structure of the alkynes. (Find the longest
    chain)
     Use the prefix in naming the alkynes with the ending -yne.
     The triple bond in the structure of alkyne must be indicated with a number to denote its
    position. The alkyne is numbered from the nearest triple bond of the structure.
     For branched alkynes, it is name using the continuous chain and is numbered from the
    nearest triple bond end. (Each carbon atoms have 4 hydrogen bonds)
     Groups are listed alphabetically as modifiers of the trunk.
     The name of the group is preceded by a number indicating the position of the group in
    the trunk.
     Contains TRIPLE BONDS.

    Example of Naming the Alkyne Branch Chain


    2-4 pentyne

    Different ways in writing a chemical formula of organic compounds.


    Take note: It’s good to be an alkane, it’s better to be an alkene but it’s worst to be an alkyne.
    Happy Learning 
