Hydrocarbons
Main types of Hydrocarbons
Alkynes
-Contains at least one carbon to carbon triple bond
-Made up of nothing but hydrogen and carbon
-similar to Alkanes
Formula: CH2n-2
n=# of carbon atoms
Triple bond:
-Less hydrogen atoms per carbon atom
-One carbon shares a triple bond with another
Examples:
-ehyne, propyne and butyne
Alkenes
-Must contain at least one carbon to carbon double bond in the chain
-Made up nothing but hydrogen and carbon
Formula: Cn H2n
Double bond:
-One carbon shares a double bond with another
-less hydrogen atoms per carbon atom
Examples:
-ethene and propene
Alkane
-Single bonds
-Made up of nothing but hydrogen and carbon
-reffered to as saturated hydrocarbons
Formula: CnH2n+2
n= # carbon atoms
Examples:
-Methane, ethane and propane
Aromatic hydrocarbons
-Aromatic hydrocarbon or an arene
-Made up nothing but hydrogen and carbon
-strong fragrance
-simplest arene is benzene
benzene formula: C6H6
Alternating double and single bonds between carbon atoms forming rings
Consists of 2 elements:
Hydrogen and carbon
Applications
-Fuel
