OpenStudy (anonymous):

@aaronq

OpenStudy (aaronq):

thew white ones are hydrogens, the black ones are carbon

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3

OpenStudy (aaronq):

1 = methane 2= ethane 3=propane 4 = butane check for functional groups, double or triple bonds, etc. are there any of those?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

propane

OpenStudy (aaronq):

that's correct. Notice the -suffix "-ane", for saturated hydrocarbons, alkanes. If there was a double bond somewhere it would be an "-ene" if triple bonds, "-yne"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ooo ok so how to i do the next one

OpenStudy (aaronq):

first draw the carbons, how many carbons are there in an oct-

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there will be a double bond?

OpenStudy (aaronq):

yes, the suffix "-ene" implies a double bond the number at the front tells you where (at which carbon) that double bond is if can also be written oct-2-ene

OpenStudy (aaronq):

it can also****

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk how to draw it though

OpenStudy (aaronq):

draw an 8 carbon chain, then add the double bond, then fill it with hydrogens so that each carbon has a total of 4 bonds. H | C=C | H
