Hybridization- this means carbon has the ability to rearrange the four orbitals in
the outer shell (hybrid orbitals are formed when two or more atomic orbitals
can mix to create new orbitals of equal energy.

compound.

Structural formulae- show the bonds in the molecule. There are 2 ways in
which it can be expressed. These are:
Displayed formula-where all the bonds are clearly shown with the
location of the atoms.
Condensed structural this shows the placement of the atoms in the
molecule.

Objective 1.6
Apply the IUPAC rules to named organic compounds
Identify the longest carbon chain. This chain is called the parent chain;
Identify all the groups that are attached to the parent chain;
Number the carbons of the parent chain from the end that gives the
substituents (a substituent is an atom or group of atoms substituted in place of
a hydrogen atom on the parent chain of a hydrocarbon, becoming a moiety of
the resultant new molecule).the lowest numbers. When comparing a series of
numbers, the series that is the "lowest" is the one which contains the lowest
number at the occasion of the first difference. If two or more side chains are in
equivalent positions, assign the lowest number to the one which will come first
in the name
If the same substituent occurs more than once, the location of each point on
which the substituent occurs is given. In addition, the number of times the
substituent group occurs is indicated by a prefix (di, tri, tetra, etc.)
If there are two or more different substituents they are listed in alphabetical
order using the base name (ignore the prefixes). The only prefix which is used
when putting the substituents in alphabetical order is iso as in isopropyl or
isobutyl. The prefixes sec- and tert- are not used in determining alphabetical
order except when compared with each other
If chains of equal length are competing for selection as the parent chain, then
the choice goes in series to:
a) the chain which has the greatest number of side chains.
b) The chain whose substituents have the lowest- numbers.
c) The chain having the greatest number of carbon atoms in the smaller side
chain.
d) The chain having the least branched side chains.
A cyclic (ring) hydrocarbon is designated by the prefix cyclo-which appears
directly in front of the base name.
NB
In summary, the name of the compound is written out with the substituents in
alphabetical order followed by the base name (derived from the number of
carbons in the parent chain). Commas are used between numbers and dashes are
used between letters and numbers. There are no spaces in the name.
Objective 1.7
Define, with examples, structural isomerism
Structural isomers are compounds which have the same molecular formula but
different structural formulae
Chain isomers- these have different arrangement of carbon chains but belong to the
same homologous series.

butan-2-ol
Objective 1.8
Explain stereoisomerism
Stereoisomerism is the arrangement of atoms in molecules whose connectivity
remains the same but their arrangement in space is different in each isomer.
