Answer 1

The family of carbon compounds that have the same general formula and similar chemical properties

Question 2

What is saturated?

Answer 2

Single bonds

Question 3

What is unsaturated,

Answer 3

The use of double bonds

Question 4

What is the general formula for alkanes?

Answer 4

CnH2n+2

Question 5

What is Bromomethane?

Answer 5

Substitution reaction, because one of the hydrogen atoms in methane swap for a bromine atom, it also produces hydrogen chloride,
UV light must be present

Question 6

What is cracking?

Answer 6

The process in which large hydrocarbon molecules are broken into smaller ones

Question 7

What is the difference between complete and incomplete combustion?

Answer 7

Complete combustion is when there is plenty of oxygen

Complete combustion is completely safe as the products are completely harmless

Question 8

What is the complete combustion formula?

Answer 8

Alkane + Oxygen- Carbon Dioxide +water

Eg, CH4 +2O2 -] CO2 + 2H2O

Question 9

What is the equation for incomplete combustion?

Answer 9

Alkane + Small amount of oxygen–] Carbon + Carbon Monoxide+ Carbon Dioxide + water

Question 10

Halogens react with Alkanes to form what and in what conditions? And give an example

Answer 10

Haloalkanes in the presence of UV, Bromomethane

Question 11

Describe what are haloalkanes? What type of reaction?

Answer 11

A hydrogen atom from the alkane is substituted by a chlorine or Bromine, it is a substitution reaction
