2. HYDROCARBON
Organic compound contain only Carbon & Hydrogen.
Classification of Hydrocarbon

3. Alkanes
Alkanes are hydrocarbons that contain only carbon-carbon single bonds.
Alkanes in which the carbons are connected in a straight chain are called Normal
Alkanes.
Ex. n-hexane
Alkanes that are branched are called Branched Chain Alkanes.
Ex. 2-methyl-pentane

Alkanes always have the ending –ane with prefix indicating the
name and number of carbon atom
Methane (CH4)
Ethane (C2H6)
Propane (C3H8)
Butane (C4H10)
Pentane (C5H12)
Hexane (C6H14)
Heptane (C7H16)
Octane (C8H18)

5. • If there are two possible chains with the same
number of carbons, use the chain with the most
substituents.

=>
Rule –
1. Identify the longest Chain – Parent chain

6. 2) Number the Carbons
• Start at the end closest to the first attached group.
• If two substituent's are equidistant, look for the next
closest group.

3) If two different substituent present on position then the
substituent which came alphabetically first get lower no.

8. 4) Use di-, tri-,tetra-, penta-, etc., for multiples of same
substituent.
5) More different substituents are present write them
alphabetical order.
6) combine number and name of substituent with parent
name, separating with hyphen .
7) For compounds with a single ring, add the prefix “cyclo-
” to the root name for the alkane comprising the ring.
