    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_straight-chain_alkanes

    The following is a list of straight-chain alkanes, the total number of isomers of each (including branched chains), and their common names, sorted by number of carbon atoms. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Number of C atoms

  3. Alkane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkane

    Chemical structure of methane, the simplest alkane. In organic chemistry, an alkane, or paraffin (a historical trivial name that also has other meanings), is an acyclic saturated hydrocarbon. In other words, an alkane consists of hydrogen and carbon atoms arranged in a tree structure in which all the carbon–carbon bonds are single. [1]

  4. Aufbau principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aufbau_principle

    Other authors write the subshells outside of the noble gas core in order of increasing n, or if equal, increasing n + l, such as Tl (Z = 81) [Xe]4f 14 5d 10 6s 2 6p 1. [5] They do so to emphasize that if this atom is ionized, electrons leave approximately in the order 6p, 6s, 5d, 4f, etc. On a related note, writing configurations in this way ...

    The reactions proceed via free-radical pathways, in which the halogen first dissociates into a two neutral radical atoms (homolytic fission). CH 4 + Cl 2 → CH 3 Cl + HCl CH 3 Cl + Cl 2 → CH 2 Cl 2 + HCl. all the way to CCl 4 (carbon tetrachloride) C 2 H 6 + Cl 2 → C 2 H 5 Cl + HCl C 2 H 4 Cl 2 + Cl 2 → C 2 H 3 Cl 3 + HCl. all the way to ...

  6. Ring strain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_strain

    In alkanes, optimum overlap of atomic orbitals is achieved at 109.5°. The most common cyclic compounds have five or six carbons in their ring. [6] Adolf von Baeyer received a Nobel Prize in 1905 for the discovery of the Baeyer strain theory, which was an explanation of the relative stabilities of cyclic molecules in 1885.

  7. Organic redox reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_redox_reaction

    True organic redox chemistry can be found in electrochemical organic synthesis or electrosynthesis. Examples of organic reactions that can take place in an electrochemical cell are the Kolbe electrolysis. [3] In disproportionation reactions the reactant is both oxidised and reduced in the same chemical reaction forming two separate compounds.

    Alkanes as substituents are called alkyl groups Subcategories. This category has the following 5 subcategories, out of 5 total. B. Butane (2 C, 11 P) E. Ethane (1 C ...

  9. Reactivity–selectivity principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactivity–selectivity...

    In one study [2] the reactivity of two different free radical species (A, sulfur, B carbon) towards addition to simple alkenes such as acrylonitrile, vinyl acetate and acrylamide was examined. The sulfur radical was found to be more reactive (6*10 8 vs. 1*10 7 M −1 .s −1 ) and less selective (selectivity ratio 76 vs 1200) than the carbon ...
