Flashcards: Chem Hydrocarbons

hydrocarbons that lack π bonds are called

are organic compounds that consist entirely of single bonded carbon and hydrogen atoms and lack any other functional groups

→proposed a system of nomenclature for organic molecules

where are the substituents and functional groups

what are the substituent s

how many carbons

what is the primary functional group

are the groups connected to the parent chain

is used to indicate the presence of a ring in the structure of an alkane

is used to separate numbers from letters

are used to separate two numbers from each other

paraffin-- slight affinity-- unreactive

reaction with halogens (radical reaction)

increasing number of C, increasing BP and MP

increases molecular size thus

lower BP and MP compared to straight chain alkane counterpart

why is BCA have lower BP and MP

is a process by which C-C bonds of larger alkanes are broken, producing smaller alkanes gasoline.

Main source of alkanes

can be achieved at high temperature

with the aid of catalysts

areunsaturated compounds with at least one carbon-to-carbon double bond

alkenes are prepared via

abundant in nature and an important precursor in the chemical industry

same side stereoisomers

opposite side stereoisomers

same side desgination

opposite side designation

Olefins

is more smoky compare with alkane

addition of two groups across a double bond

addition of H and X

addition of H and OH

addition of H and H

addition of X and X

addition of OH and X

addition of OH and OH

is a process of producing larger molecules from repeating units

areunsaturated compounds with at least one carbon-to-carbon triple bond C≡C

less common in nature than alkenes

monosubstituted alkynes

disubstituted alkynes

acetylene

soot are relatively thicker than the alkenes
