| Alkane, alkene, alkyne, alcohol and acid names are given, up through molecules having 10 carbons. For hydrocarbons containing 11-20 carbons, only the alkane names are shown, but naming follows the same rules as for hydrocarbons or functional group names for molecules having fewer numbers of carbons. | |||||||
