Organic Chemistry Modelling
I have been building some organic Chemistry models with Molymods, starting with the first 10 alkanes.
The order of these are
- Methane
- Ethane
- Propane
- Butane
- Pentane
- Hexane
- Heptane
- Octane
- Nonane
- Decane
So going from top to bottom, you get an indication of the number of Carbon atoms in the chain. So 1 for Methane and 10 for Decane.
The general rule is CnH2n+2 BBC Bitesize.
You can find an infographic on organic compound naming on Compound Chemistry
