Structural Isomers

Structural Isomers

Isomers are molecules with the same chemical formula, but different organization of atoms (different bonding)

Rules for Naming Alkanes (Nomenclature)

Rules for Naming Alkanes (Nomenclature)

When alkane groups appear as substituents, they

are named by dropping the -ane and adding -yl.

—CH3 Methyl

—CH2CH3 Ethyl

—CH2CH2CH3 Propyl

—CH2CH2CH2CH3 Butyl

Rules for Naming Alkanes (Nomenclature)

Rules for Naming Alkanes (Nomenclature)

The positions of substituent groups are specified

by numbering the longest chain of carbon atoms

sequentially, starting at the end closest to the

branching.
