Organic Chemistry Flashcards
What type of bonds are in an alkane
Single bonds
Complete Reaction
CH + O2 -> CO2 + H2O
Why does carbon form large molecules
Because it can bond to itself
Incomplete reaction
CH+ O2 -> H2O + CO
What are some trends of hydrocarbons? (As they get longer)
Boiling point increases
Viscosity increases
Solubility in water decreases
What does an addition reaction create?
It creates an alkane with all reactants in one product
What is a homogenous series?
A series of molecules which ave the same general formula
What type of bonds are in an alkene
On double bond
What is an isomer?
A structural variation of lattices which has the same chemical formula
Benzene formula
C6H6
What reactions are alkenes involved with
Addition
General formula for an alkane
CnH2n+2
General formula for aklene
C2H2
What is graphites structure
Covalent layers, hexagonal, on delocalised electron in each ring, each carbon atom is bonded to another carbon atom
What are fullerenes?
Spherically shaped lattice
