6. Alkanes are the simplest of the hydro-
carbons, having the gen-
eral formula CnH2n+2,
where n is the number of
carbon atoms

16. Butane and isobutane are isomers. This means they molecular / structural
have the same _______ formula but different _______
formulas.
17. IUPAC nomenclature system rules 1. Locate and name the
longest continuous chain
of carbons using the usu-
al base names to indicate
the number of carbons.
2. Add a suffix to indi-
cate the type of compound
such as -ane to indicate an
alkane.
3. Name all substituents
(attached pieces that are
not part of the chain)
by using the same base
names to indicate the
number of carbons in the
substituent, and add the
suffix -yl to the name of the
substituent.
