Packet #7 Flashcards
Alkane
A hydrocarbon with only single bonds
In a stick structure, an “end” represents how many carbons and how many hydrogens?
One (1) carbon and 3 hydrogens
In a stick structure, a “bend” represents how many carbons and how many hydrogens?
One (1) carbon and 2 hydrogens
In a stick structure, a “branch point” represents how many carbons and how many hydrogens?

Alkene
Hydrocarbons that contain double bonds
Name the common reactions that alkenes undergo
- Hydrogenation (an addition rxn)
- Bromination
- Conversion to alcohols
- Alkene polymerization
Polymer
A long chain like molecule containing thousands of atoms
Monomers
small molecules that can be joined chemically to make polymers
Is polymerization endothermic or exothermic?
Exothermic
Complete comubstion of hydrocarbons
Hydrocarbon + Oxygen Gas (O2) → Carbon Dioxide (CO2) + Water
Incomplete combustion
Hydrocarbon + Oxygen Gas → Carbon monoxide + Water
