Q
Unsaturated Hydrocarbons
A
- Unsaturated hydrocarbons have multiple (either double or triple) bonds between carbon atoms
- Alkenes and Alkynes
19
Q
Alkenes
A
- Alkenes contain double bonds between the carbon atoms
- Alkene names end in “ene” and follow the same suffixes as alkanes
20

Q
Alkynes
A
Unsaturated hydrocarbon containing one triple bond between two carbon atoms
Name has number pre-fix and -yen suffix

Type Formula for Alkynes
A
CnH2n-2
n=carbons
23
Q
Aromatic
A
- An organic compound where the carbon atoms are arranged in a ring structure
- Six carbon ring
24
Q
Benzene
A
- Colorless, flammable liquid used to synthesize other chemicals
- An aromatic
25
Q
Toluene
A
- A derivative of benzene (an aromatic)
- A solvent
- Found in paint thinners
- One or more of its six hydrogen atoms is replaced with other atoms or groups of atoms
26
Q
Phenol
A
- Also called Hydroxyl Benzene
- An aromatic
- Used in embalming as a preservative, cauterizing agent, and a bleaching agent
