Properties of Hydrocarbons
Physical Properties
Melting + Boiling Points
Boiling point
Energy to break molecular bonding
Low melting and boiling point
Branching chains
More extended shape
Slightly lower boiling point
Density
Lower density than water
Increased mass per unit volume
Solubility
Insoluble
Water is polar
Can't bond with non-polar hydrocarbons
Viscosity
Resistant to flow
Larger hydrocarbons = larger dispersion forces
Chemical Properties
Combustion
More likely to burn
Use of hydrocarbons as fuels
Higher C = more viscous combustion
