Stage Teacher/pupil’s activity Learning points

Intro teacher and pupils recall  Nomenclature; this is a system of naming
the following; organic compounds
rules for naming of  In naming of alkanes it is important to know
alkanes the prefix by counting the number of carbon
atoms, e.g. alkane with 1 carbon atom have
the prefix of meth, 2 carbon atoms have the
prefix of eth, etc.
 The suffix is another important tool for doing
this job; it is derived from three of the ending
letters of the name alkane, ane.
 Thus the prefix + suffix=name of alkane
homologue
 The formula of an alkane can be derived using
the general formula of alkanes CnH2n+2 where
is the number of carbon atoms.
Developmen teacher and pupils define Alkenes
t the general What are they?
1 characteristics of alkenes They are hydrocarbons
They contain a double c=c covalent bond –
this is its functional group
This means that they are unsaturated
hydrocarbons – they can have atoms added
to them
LESSON PLAN
They are more reactive than alkenes

They are a homologous series which share a
general formula of CnH2n
2 teacher and pupils use Naming Alkenes
the rules of naming  The rules for naming alkanes apply as well in
alkanes to name alkenes naming alkenes
 Example of alkenes are; ethane, propene,
butene and propene, there is no alkene
corresponding to methane
 Thus the simplest way of naming alkenes is
just changing the ‘ane’ ending of alkanes with
‘ene’ remembering that there is no alkene
corresponding to methane
 This is because alkenes have at least a double
bond and to achieve this 2 carbon atoms
must be present
 So alkene family starts from ethene
3  teacher and pupils use Drawing Alkane Structures
the general formula for  Before a structure is drawn, first derive the
alkenes to draw formula for the alkene in question using the
structures of alkenes up general formula CnH2n
to 5 carbon atoms  For example ethene has 2 carbon atoms,
thus substitute in the formula C2H2x2 =C2H4
 The table below shows the names of alkenes
with their molecular formular and structures
