Naming Alkanes 1. Find the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms in the molecule 2. Start numbering the chain at the carbon nearer the first branching point 3. (the substituents should have the lowest numbers possible) 3. Name and number the substituents If there are two substituents attached to the same carbon, assign both of them the same number 4. Write out the name of the molecule • List the substitutents names in alphabetical order if there are two identical substituents on the molecule, use the prefix di; if there are three identical substituents, use the prefix tri-; if there are four identical substituents, use the prefix tetra(alphabetize the substituents by the main name of the substituent, not by any prefixes the substituents may have) • Separate the substituents names with hyphens • Tag the name of the parent chain onto the end of the substituent names

A Few Extra Rules to Follow Use commas to separate numbers Use hyphens to separate numbers from the substituent names Never name alkanes after drinking Don’t allow children to name alkanes unattended

Polymers • Polymer - a large organic molecule composed of smaller units bonded together – These smaller units are called monomers. • Tires – Vulcanized rubber was discovered by mistake!! • soft and weak until heated then forms disulfide linkages between the rubber polymers. PRISM fellow: Mr. Kevin J. Hodel

Natural Polymers • • • Rubber Cotton Paper – • Cotton and paper are made of cellulose which is the most abundant natural polymer in the world. Starch – Potatoes, corn, bread PRISM fellow: Mr. Kevin J. Hodel

Synthetic Polymers • • Half of the industrial chemists work in some area of polymer chemistry. In 1996, more than 270 lbs of plastic was produced person in the US. PRISM fellow: Mr. Kevin J. Hodel

Types of Synthetic Polymers • Elastomers - can be highly stretched and returns to their original shape. • Fibers - polymers that exhibit little or no elasticity (threadlike) • Plastics - synthetic polymers that are more elastic than fibers but less elastic the elastomers. PRISM fellow: Mr. Kevin J. Hodel

Common Polymers • Polystyrene foam can be made into cartons to protect eggs or into packing “peanuts” to cushion fragile objects for shipping. – CH 2 – CH – Plastic coffee cups and cartons, insulation Polystyrene • Polyethylene: You probably see polyethylene every day! It’s the plastic used to make many containers, among other things. – CH 2 – Polyethylene Plastic bottles, film, insulation material • Water-resistant paints and varnishes derive from a family of synthetic polymers called acrylics.
