Hydrocarbons
What are the four hydrocarbons?
- Alkanes
- Alkenes
- Alkynes
- Aromatics
A __________________ shows only the kinds and numbers of atoms in a molecule.
molecular formula
A ____________________shows all the carbon and hydrogen atoms and the bonds attaching them.
structural formula
___________________________________ show the hydrogen atoms (or other atoms or groups) right next to the carbon atoms to which they are attached.
Condensed chemical formulas
_______________________ imply a carbon atom at the corners and ends of lines. Each carbon atom is understood to be attached to enough hydrogen atoms to give each carbon atom four bonds.
Line-angle formulas (aka skeletal structure)
Each of two or more compounds with the same formula but a different arrangement of atoms in the molecule and different properties
Isomers
__________________ are alkanes in which the ends of the carbon chain are joined together, making a ring of carbon atoms (which requires the loss of two hydrogen atoms compared to the straight-chain alkanes).
Cycloalkanes
