branches
Homologous series: family of compounds in which each member differs from the one
before it in the series by one methylene group
Methylene group: CH2
Homologues: members of a homologous series

Butane: has two possible structures (straight chain called butane and branched called
isobutane)

the way atoms are connected (differing constitutions)

Heptane: has nine possible structures
Systematic (IUPAC) nomenclature: method of nomenclature designed by a commission
of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry to avoid memorizing the
names of thousands of structural units; creates systematic names that describe the
compounds structure
Common name: nonsystematic name (ex: isobutane), shown in red throughout the
textbook
3.1: Alkyl Groups
Alkyl group: removing a hydrogen from an alkane results in an alkyl group (or alkyl
substituent)
Alcohol: hydrogen in an alkane is replaced by an OH
Amine: hydrogen in an alkane is replaced by an NH2
Alkyl halide: hydrogen in an alkane is replaced by a halogen
Ether: hydrogen in an alkane is replaced by an OR
