Expanding the Alkane Series
This page continues the homologous series of alkany alkanes, focusing on butane C4H10 and pentane C5H12. It also mentions higher alkanes up to decane.
For butane and pentane, the page provides:
- Structural formulas showing the arrangement of carbon and hydrogen atoms
- Semi-structural formulas condensedstructuralformulas
- Molecular formulas
The page concludes by listing the names of alkanes from hexane to decane, completing the szereg homologiczny alkanów do 10 homologousseriesofalkanesupto10carbonatoms.
Example: Butane C4H10 is represented as CH3-CH2-CH2-CH3 in its semi-structural formula.
Highlight: The pattern of increasing carbon chain length and hydrogen atoms is clearly visible as the series progresses.
Vocabulary:
- Semi-structural formula: A condensed representation of a molecule's structure, showing some bonds explicitly.
Definition: Each member of the alkane homologous series differs from the next by one CH2 group.
This comprehensive overview of alkanes provides students with a solid foundation for understanding węglowodory nasycone i nienasycone saturatedandunsaturatedhydrocarbons and their nomenclature, setting the stage for more advanced topics in organic chemistry.
