Chemistry Organics Unit Mind Map
Hydrocarbons (Molecules with hydrogen & carbons)
Polymers: Many repeating units of molecules (monomer)
Polymerisation
Plastics
Breaking double bonds then forming
Polymerisation occurs when the double in an alkane monomer break open and the individual molecules form a polymer chain.
Fractional Distillation
Large scale, industrialization fractional distillation can be used to separate petroleum
Small chain hydrocarbons have low boiling points and condense at the top
Large chain hydrocarbon have high boiling points and condense at the bottom
Homologous Series
Alkane
Ends with -ane
Ethane, Butane, Propane
Single bonds
Saturated
Alkene
Ends with -ene
Ethene, Butene, Propene
Double bonds
Unsaturated
Alcohol
ends with -ol
Ethanol, Propanol, Butanol
Cracking
Some of the long chain hydrocarbons found in crude oil are not good fuels
To produce smaller, more efficient and easier-to-use fuels, long chain alkanes are ‘cracked’ into smaller molecules
