CH2 Flashcards
Definition of Carbon compounds
Compounds that contain carbon as their constituent element
Definition of Organic Compounds
Compounds originating from living things that containing Carbon element bonded covalently with other element
Definition of Inorganic compounds
Compounds originating from non-living materials such as oxides of carbon, carbonate compounds and cyanide compounds
Definition of Hydrocarbon
Organic compound that contain only Hydrogen and carbon
Definition of Non-Hydrocarbon
Organic compounds that contain carbon, hydrogen and other elements
Definition of Saturated Hydrocarbon
Hydrocarbons that contain only single bonds between carbon atoms
Definition of Unsaturated Hydrocarbon
Hydrocarbons that contains double or triple bonds between Carbon atoms
2 Main sources of Hydrocarbon
Petroleum
crude Oil
2 Stages of oil refining
Fractional distillation
cracking
Definition of fractional distillation
Seperation of fraction of hydrocarbons in petroleum at different temperature according to the size of the Hydrocarbons
Definition of Cracking (of Hydrocarbons)
Cracking of long chain Hydrocarbons into smaller molecules at high temperature using catalyst
