Alkanes
• Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons.
• They are straight or branched-chain
hydrocarbons.
• There are only single covalent bonds between
the carbon atoms.
• Each successive member of the alkane series
differs from the next by a CH2 group.
• Successive members are similar in structure
but differ in formula.
The general formula of alkanes is CnH2n+2
If n = 7 formula = C7H16
Names of Straight-chain Alkanes
Formula
• Molecular – gives the type and number of each
atom
– e.g. C2H6
• Structural – shows how each atom is balanced

Reactions of Alkenes
• Combustion reactions are not as “clean” as the
corresponding alkanes
• Alkenes are more reactive than their corresponding
alkanes.
• This greater reactivity is due to the carbon-carbon
double bonds.
• Addition reactions at the carbon-carbon double bond are
the most common.

Polymers from Alkenes
• A polymer (macromolecule) is a natural
or synthetic giant molecule formed from
smaller molecules (monomers).
• Monomers are the small units that
undergo addition polymerisation to
form a polymer ( very large molecule

• Longer chains get tangled
• Weak intermolecular forces
increase with chain length
so…
• Melting point increases and …
• Polymer becomes stronger

Alcohols
• Alcohols are organic molecules
whose molecules contain the –
OH (hydroxyl) functional group.
• The general formula for alcohols
is ROH.
• Alcohol molecules with 4 or less
C are soluble in water because
EN difference between OH makes the molecule polar
• Longer chain alcohols are non-polar and insoluble in
water.
• Alcohols burn in air to produce water and carbon
dioxide.
Naming Alcohols
• Find the longest C
chain containing –OH
• Identify any branches
• Number C atoms so –
OH has the lowest
number

Polyhydroxy Alcohols
• Alcohols that contain more than one OH group
attached to different carbons are called
polyhydroxy alcohols.
• Monohydroxy: one OH group per molecule.
• Dihydroxy: two OH groups per molecule.
• Trihydroxy: three OH groups per molecule.

Classifying Alcohols
Alcohols are classified as:
primary (1o)
• (C atom with –OH is
bonded to 1 other C)
secondary (2o)
• (C atom with –OH is
bonded to 2 other C)
tertiary (3o)
• (C atom with –OH is
bonded to 3 other C)
Name the alcohols and draw the
isomers of the secondary alcohol

beginning of a carbon chain.
• The carbonyl carbon atom is always
designated as C-1.

Naming Carboxylic acids
• The name of a carboxylic acid is derived
from the name of the alkane
corresponding to the longest carbon
chain that contains the carboxyl group.
• The parent name is formed by
changing the –e ending of the alkane
to –oic acid.

Formulas and Names of Saturated Carboxylic Acids
Physical properties of carboxylic
acids
• Colourless liquids or white solids at room temp
• Methanoic and ethanoic acid are soluble because the
–COOH group is polar.
• Solubility decreases with increasing chain length.
• Short chain molecules tend to be “smelly”
• Higher m.p and b.p than equivalent hydrocarbons and
alcohols due to stronger intermolecular bonding
