Lesson 7.2: Hydrocarbons Flashcards
Hydrocarbon
Any chemical compound consisting entirely of hydrogen and carbon
Hydrocarbons are divided into two groups
Aliphatic and Cyclic Hydrocarbons
Aliphatic is…?
Open-chain compounds
Cyclic is….?
Closed-chain compounds
Aliphatic braches into two
Saturated:Alkanes
Unsaturated:Alkenes, Alkynes
Single bonds between carbon atoms are..?
Saturated
Double and triple bonds are..?
Unsaturated
Isomers
Same number of carbon and hydrogen but not the same structure
Single bond
-ane, methane
Double bond
-ene, methene
Triple bond
-yne, methyl
Cyclic branches into two
Alicyclic and Cyclic
The parent chain is?
The longest carbon chain
Alkyl groups
Formed when came from apkane but got their hydrogen lessened
General formula of Alkane
CnH2n+(n)
