Hydrocarbons Flashcards
1
Q
Generalizations of hydrocarbons
A
Flammable (FP < 141) or Combustible (FP > 141)
Pi bond compounds (Alkenes and Alkynes) are highly reactive - many polymerize
Aromatics - toxic and flammable/combustible
Don’t mix in water
No PH
Radical + something = hydrocarbon derivative
2
Q
Alkane
A
CnH2n+2
Box 8
Carbon to carbon single bonds (saturated)
Longer the chain, easier to ignite/break
3
Q
Alkene
A
CnH2n Box 9 Reducer Carbon to carbon double bonds (unsaturated) Pi bonds - highly reactive
4
Q
Alkyne
A
CnH2n-2
Box 10
Carbon to carbon triple bonds (unsaturated)
5
Q
Aromatic
A
CnH2n-6
Box 11
Resonant (shared) bonds
