hydrocarbons Flashcards
three exceptions of carbons
carbon oxides, carbides and carbonates
carbon share
4 covalent bonds
carbon bonded
hydrogens ,phosphorous ,sulfur, nitrogen , oxygen and the halogens
carbon atoms also bond other carbons atoms
because carbons forms four bonds ,it complex ,branched structures ,ring structures , cagelike structures.
models of methane
CH4 molecular formula
structural formula
dash -wedge structure
ball -stick model
space filling model
saturated hydrocarbons
only single bonds
unsaturated hydrocarbons
double or triple
petroleum
complex mixture containing more than a thousand different compound
raw petroleum called
crude oil
cracking
heavier fractions convert to gasoline by breaking large molecule to smaller
cracking is done
absence pf oxygen and in presence of catalyst . produce materials , plastic product films ,and synthesis fabrics
