    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

    Number and name the side chains before the name of the root chain; If there are multiple side chains of the same type, use prefixes such as "di-" and "tri-" to indicate it as such, and number each one. Add side chain names in alphabetical (disregarding "di-" etc. prefixes) order in front of the name of the root chain

  4. Hydrocarbon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrocarbon

    In the fossil fuel industries, hydrocarbon refers to naturally occurring petroleum, natural gas and coal, or their hydrocarbon derivatives and purified forms. Combustion of hydrocarbons is the main source of the world's energy. Petroleum is the dominant raw-material source for organic commodity chemicals such as solvents and polymers.

  5. Side chain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Side_chain

    The side chain is a hydrocarbon branching element of a molecule that is attached to a larger hydrocarbon backbone. It is one factor in determining a molecule's properties and reactivity. [2] A side chain is also known as a pendant chain, but a pendant group (side group) has a different definition.

  6. Alcohol (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_(chemistry)

    In naming simple alcohols, the name of the alkane chain loses the terminal e and adds the suffix -ol, e.g., as in "ethanol" from the alkane chain name "ethane". [19] When necessary, the position of the hydroxyl group is indicated by a number between the alkane name and the -ol: propan-1-ol for CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 OH, propan-2-ol for CH 3 CH(OH)CH 3.

  7. Glycerophospholipid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycerophospholipid

    These chains are branched, with one methyl substituent per C5 subunit. These chains are linked to the glycerol phosphate by ether linkages. [2] The two hydrocarbon chains attached to the glycerol are hydrophobic while the polar head, which mainly consists of the phosphate group attached to the third carbon of the glycerol backbone, is ...

    For chains: Identification of the parent hydrocarbon chain. This chain must obey the following rules, in order of precedence: It should have the maximum length. It should have the maximum number of heteroatoms. It should have the maximum number of senior heteroatoms (in order: O, S, N, P, Si, B). For cyclic systems and chains after previous rules:
