3.3 draw displayed formula for alkanes with up to five carbon atoms in a molecule, and name the straight chain isomers

Alkanes have the general formula CnH2n+2 . The best way to think of this is that each carbon is bonded with two hydrogen atoms, then there's two on each end...

NOTE: we only need to learn up to pentane.
