2 Nomenclature
1.The name of a saturated hydrocarbon with an
unbranched chain consists of a prefix and suffix
2. For branched alkanes, the parent chain is the longest
chain of carbon atoms
3. Each substituent is given a name and a number

2 Cycloalkanes
General
formula CnH2n
and nomenclature
to name, prefix the name of the corresponding openchain alkane with cyclo-, and name each substituent
on the ring
if only one substituent, no need to give it a number
if two substituents, number from the substituent of
lower alphabetical order
if three or more substituents, number to give them the
lowest set of numbers and then list substituents in
alphabetical order
