• sp 180o 2• sp2 120o 3• sp3 109.5o 4
• Each hybrid orbital is identical
• Molecular Formula: – Gives number of each type of atom in compound
• Structural Formula– Gives number of each type of atom AND shows how
the atoms are connected
• Condensed Structural Formula– Gives number of each type of atom AND shows how
the atoms are connected using “shorthand” structures

ALKANES
• Straight chain or “normal” alkanes have all of their carbons connected in sequence
• C1 connected to C2 connected to C3 connected to C4, etc.
• A straight chain has angles of 109.5o between adjacent carbons. Physically the straight chain appears to be “zig-zag” rather than a straight line
Constitutional Isomerism (Structural Isomers)
• Compounds that have the same molecular formula but different structural formulas– Up to 3 C—only one structure possible
– For 4 C (C4H10), two constitutional isomers are possible

Common Names• Common names still in use
– Number of carbon atoms determines the name– First three alkanes are methane, ethane, and
propane
– All alkanes of formula C4H10 are butanes, all alkanes of formula C5H12 are called pentanes, etc.
– The prefix isoiso shows that one end of an otherwise unbranched chain terminates in (CH3)2CH-

Cycloalkanes• Cyclic hydrocarbon: Cyclic hydrocarbon: a hydrocarbon that
contains carbon atoms joined to form a ring
• Cycloalkane:Cycloalkane: a cyclic hydrocarbon in which all carbons of the ring are saturated – Cycloalkanes of ring sizes ranging from 3 to over
30 carbon atoms are found in nature– Five-membered (cyclopentane) and six-membered
(cyclohexane) rings are especially abundant in nature
Cyclopentane Cyclohexane
Generic Formula
• Alkane: CnH2n+2 n = # of C
• Cycloalkane: CnH2n
Note that making a ring results in 2 fewer hydrogens than in straight chain
Cycloalkanes• Nomenclature
– Add cyclo-cyclo- to the name of the corresponding open-chain alkane and name each substituent on the ring
– If only one substituent, it does not need to be numbered
– If there are two substituents, number the ring beginning with the substituent of lower alphabetical order.

Conformations - Alkanes
• Conformation:Conformation: any three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in a molecule that results by rotation about a C-C single bond– Three conformations for a butane molecule
Most crowdedconformation
rotate by 120°
rotate by 60°
Least crowdedconformation
Intermediatecrowding
Conformations - Alkanes
• Ring formation limits free rotation
• Can only rotate partly without breaking bonds
Cyclopentane
• The most stable conformation of a cyclopentane ring is an envelope
conformation
Cyclohexane
• The most stable conformation of a cyclohexane ring is the chair conformation– all bond angles are approximately 109.5°
Cyclohexane
Cyclohexane• In a chair conformation,
– six C-H bonds are equatorial equatorial (red) – six C-H bonds are axial axial (blue)

Physical Properties of Alkanes
• Most important physical property of alkanes and cycloalkanes is their almost complete lack of polarity– Electronegativity difference between carbon and
hydrogen is 2.5 - 2.1 = 0.4– Thus C-H bond is nonpolar covalent– Alkanes are nonpolar compounds– Display only weak London dispersion forces
between molecules
Physical Properties of Alkanes
• Melting and boiling points
– Low melting and boiling points compared to other types of compounds with same size
– Both boiling and melting points of alkanes increase with increasing molecular weight
• Greater number of London dispersion forces

Physical Properties of Alkanes
• Solubility: “like dissolves like”– Nonpolar alkanes are NOT soluble in water– Do not form hydrogen bonds with water– Soluble in each other and in other nonpolar
organic compounds
• Density– Densities of 0.7-0.8 g/mL– Less dense than water (1.0 g/mL) so they
float on water
Chemical Properties of Alkanes
• Oxidation (Combustion)– Reaction with oxygen
– Products are CO2, H2O and heat
– Used as energy sources for heat and power

The Chlorofluorocarbons• Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)
– Freons
– CCl3F (Freon-11) and CCl2F2 (Freon-12)
– nontoxic, nonflammable, odorless, noncorrosive
• CFCs were used as – refrigerants– industrial cleaning solvents – propellants for aerosol sprays
CFC Replacements• Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) cause destruction
of the Earth’s stratospheric ozone layer
• Replacements are hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs)– More reactive than CFCs– Destroyed before they reach the stratosphere

chiefly propane, butane, and 2-methylpropane

compounds, most of them hydrocarbons formed from the decomposition of marine plants and animals
