Card 1Nomenclature of Alkanes

What is the IUPAC name for the compound CH₃-CH₂-CH₂-CH₂-CH₃?

Answer

Pentane Explanation: This is a straight-chain alkane with 5 carbon atoms. The word root is 'pent' (for 5 carbons) and suffix is 'ane' (for saturated hydrocarbon). No branching or functional groups ar

Card 2Nomenclature of Branched Alkanes

Name the compound: CH₃-CH(CH₃)-CH₂-CH₃

Answer

2-Methylbutane Step-by-step naming: 1. Main chain has 4 carbons (butane) 2. CH₃ branch at position 2 3. Branch is methyl group 4. Format: position-branch name-main chain name

Card 3IUPAC Nomenclature Rules

What are the key rules for numbering carbon atoms in branched alkanes?

Answer

1. Choose the longest carbon chain as main chain 2. Number from the end that gives branches the lowest position numbers 3. If same position from both ends, choose the end giving second branch lower nu

Card 4Nomenclature of Unsaturated Hydrocarbons

Name the compound: CH₃-CH₂-CH=CH-CH₃

Answer

Pent-2-ene Explanation: 1. 5 carbon atoms = pent 2. Double bond between C2 and C3 3. Numbering gives double bond lowest position (2) 4. Suffix 'ene' for alkene Format: word root + position + ene

Card 5Nomenclature of Unsaturated Hydrocarbons

What is the IUPAC name for CH₃-C≡C-CH₂-CH₃?

Answer

Pent-2-yne Explanation: 1. 5 carbon atoms = pent 2. Triple bond starts at position 2 3. Suffix 'yne' for alkyne 4. Number to give triple bond lowest position

Card 6Functional Groups

Define functional group and give three examples.

Answer

Functional Group: An atom or group of atoms bonded to carbon that determines the characteristic chemical and physical properties of an organic compound. Examples: 1. Hydroxyl group (-OH) - found in a

Card 7Functional Groups - Alcohols

How do you name alcohols using IUPAC nomenclature?

Answer

Alcohol Naming Rules: 1. Replace 'e' of alkane with 'ol' 2. Number carbon chain to give -OH lowest position 3. Include position number before 'ol' for chains >2 carbons Example: CH₃-CH₂-CH₂-OH = Prop

Card 8Functional Groups - Carboxylic Acids

Name the compound: CH₃-CH₂-COOH

Answer

Propanoic acid Explanation: 1. 3 carbon atoms including carboxyl carbon = propane 2. -COOH is carboxyl functional group 3. Replace 'e' with 'oic acid' 4. Propane - e + oic acid = Propanoic acid This
