Names are made up
of: side chains, root
2,3-dimethylpentane
CH3
Root is the longest possible HC chain
Must contain multiple bonds if present
Add -yl to get name of side chain

Common side chains include:
CH
CH3- methyl
CH3CH2- ethyl

24.5 - Recall, the exceptions to organic
compounds are oxides of carbon, carbonates,
bicarbonates, cyanides.
b) is an oxide, d) bicarbonate, e) carbonate
24.6 - This is a straight chain molecule as all
carbons are consecutive.
24.7 - none are possible: a) one too few Hs
(should be CH3CH2CH3), b) one H too many
(should be CH2=CHCH2CH3), c) one H too
many (should be CH3CH=CHCH2CH3).

Build a molecule that can be named
according to the rules that we have talked
about. Make it challenging.
Place your model at a vacant lab station.
On a scrap piece of paper write the following:
1) your station number, 2) the structure of
your molecule, 3) the name of the structure.
Give this to your teacher.
Rotate through the stations, drawing the
structures and determining their names. At
the end of the class students will reveal the
answer with an explanation.
