General formula: C n H 2n+1 –Where n = 1, 2, 3, … (n = number of carbon) Formula Branch or name of group CH 3 - methyl C 2 H 5 - ethyl C 3 H 7 - propyl C 4 H 9 - butyl C 5 H 11 - pentyl Alkyl group signifies that it is not part of the main chain. Two or more types of branches are present, name them in alphabetical order. Number of side chain Prefix 2 Di- 3 Tri- 4 Tetra- 5 Penta- 6 Hexa- More than one side chains are present, prefixes are used. Root – the parent hydrocarbon (denotes the longest carbon chain).

SPM Chemistry Form 5 – Terminology and Concepts: Carbon Compounds Organic compounds – carbon containing compounds with covalent bonds. Inorganic compounds – non-living things and usually do not contain carbon but few carbon containing inorganic compounds such as CO 2 , CaCO 3 and KCN. Hydrocarbons – organic compounds that contain hydrogen and carbon atom only. Non-hydrocarbons – organic compounds that contain other elements (oxygen, nitrogen, iodine, phosphorus) Saturated hydrocarbons – only single bonded (Carbon-Carbon) hydrocarbons. Unsaturated hydrocarbons – at least one double / triple bonded (Carbon-Carbon) hydrocarbons. Complete combustion – organic compounds burn completely which form CO 2 and H 2 O. Example: C 2 H 5 OH (l) + O 2 (g) –> 2CO 2 (g) + 3H 2 O (l) Incomplete combustion – organic compounds burn with limited supply of O 2 which form C (soot), CO, CO 2 and H 2 O.
