• Name, draw, and construct structural models of alkanes
Include: branched alkanes, structural isomers
Additional KEY Termscycloalkanes
Structural isomers:Compounds with same molecular formula but different structural formula.
Isomers differ in their properties such as boiling point and melting point.
More branched the structure, lower its boiling point - compounds can’t stack, weaker the IMFs.

More carbon atoms - more structural isomers.

Take care when naming your isomers to be sure you don’t have the same thing.
3-ethyl-2-methylhexane is a structural isomer of which straight chained alkane?
6 carbons + 2 carbons + 1 carbon = 9 carbons
The alkane with 9 carbons is nonane.
hexane ethyl methyl

CYCLOALKANES
• Same naming rules – but add prefix“cyclo” • Name the carbon ring first, then number the carbons so
as to give the alkyl groups the lowest set of numbers.
