Organic Chemistry is also known as the chemistry of carbon compounds.
Organic Compounds have low melting points, and can form chains of carbon atoms, linked in a straight-line, circular pattern, or branched pattern.
They can also link with other atoms in either a single bond, double bond or triple bond.
A hydrocarbon is a compound comprised of only hyrogen and carbon.
Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbon, in which the carbon atoms are bonded with single bonds.
Names of Alkanes: Here is a table of the differet alkanes and its molecular formula.
The formula for writing the formula of alkanes is: CnH2n+2
Branched hydrocarbons or Substituted hydrocarbons are hydrocarbon attached to the side of the original hydrocarbon.
A alkyl group is an aklane which has lost a hydrogen atom.
