These students started organic chemistry studies by making models of the single-bonded hydrocarbons, methane, ethane, propane, and butane. Then they sketched out structural formulas for the larger alkanes: pentane, hexane, heptane, octane, nonane and decane. Next they will be finding the different isomers of these hydrocarbons.
