Alkyl Groups

Alkane Isomers

Naming Branch-Chain Alkanes

• select the longest chain alkane as the base name

• determine the side chains and give them a number corresponding to the carbon number on the base chain

• use Greek prefixes of mono-(1), bi-(2), tri(3), etc. for multiplicity of same side chain

IonicCompounds

Characteristics of compounds with ionic bonding:

• non-volatile, thus high melting points

• solids do not conduct electricity, but melts (liquid state) do

• many, but not all, are water soluble

Formation of Ionic Compound, NaCl

Valance, Charge on Ions

• compounds have electrical neutrality

• metals form positive monatomic ions

• non-metals form negative monatomic ions

• balance charges

• Al3+ O2-
