Substituents and Alkyl Groups Substituents are atoms or groups of atoms attached to the carbon chain and include alkyl and halo groups. Alkyl groups are carbon branches attached to carbon chains named with a yl ending alo substituents are halogens attached to the carbon chain named as fluoro, chloro, bromo, or iodo 24

Some Uses of Alkanes Alkanes with one to four carbons are gases at room temperature and are widely used as heating fuels. methane, ethane, propane, butane Butane has four carbons: Alkanes with five to eight carbons are highly volatile liquids at room temperature, making them useful in fuels such as gasoline. pentane, hexane, heptane, octane Octane has eight carbons: Alkanes with 9 17 carbons are liquids with higher boiling points and are found in motor oils, mineral oil, kerosene, diesel, and jet fuels. Decane has 10 carbons: Alkanes with 18 or more carbons have high molar masses are waxy solids at room temperature are used in waxy coatings of fruits and vegetables 41
Solubility and Density of Alkanes Alkanes are nonpolar insoluble in water less dense than water flammable in air The crude oil in oil spills floats on top of the water, forming a thin layer on the surface because it is less dense than water. 42

Functional Groups Functional groups are a characteristic feature of organic molecules that behave in a predictable way composed of an atom or group of atoms groups that replace a hydrogen atom in the corresponding alkane a way to classify families of organic compounds 47
