What are Hydrocarbons?
|
Molecules with Carbon and Hydrogen as their major components.
|
|
What kind of bonding occurs between Carbon atoms in Hydrocarbons?
|
Single, double, or triple bonding.
|
|
What names are given to the 3 types of bondings?
|
Alkanes (single), Alkenes (double), and Alkynes (triple).
|
|
How are hydrocarbons named?
|
IUPAC method: Prefix + Root + Suffix
Prefix: Name and location of functional groups and multi-bond (if any).Root: Total number of carbons in longest possible chain.Suffix: Based on what type of bonding there is in the parent (longest) chain. -ane, -ene, or -yne. |
|
How does the number of carbons in a chain changes the chain's name?
|
1 = Meth2 = Eth3 = Prop4 = But5 = Pent6 = Hex7 = Hept8 = Oct9 = Non10 = Dec

|
Differentiate between Cis-alkanes and Trans-alkanes.
|
Cis alkanes have their main branches side-by-side.
Trans have them diagonally opposite from each other. |
|
Describe ortho-, meta-, and para- cycloalkanes.
|
Ortho: Branches located one carbon apartMeta: Branches located two carbons apart.Para: Branches located on opposite ends of the cycloalkane.
