(46 cards)
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?
One (1) carbon and one (1) hydrogen
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
Aromatic compound
A ring of 6 carbon atoms with 3 conjugated double bonds. (Benzene example)
Methane
CH4
Ethane
CH3CH3
CH3CH3
Ethane
Propane
CH3CH2CH3
CH3CH2CH3
Propane
Butane
CH3CH2CH2CH3
CH3CH2CH2CH3
Butane
repeat unit
the basic chemical structure of a polymer that repeats over and over again along the length of a polymer chain
polymerization
chemical reaction by which monomers join chemically to form a polymer
Saturdated hydrocarbon
Hydrogen takes up all possible spots on the carbon molecules in the hydrocarbon (alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons)
Unsaturated hydrocarbon
Hydrogens are not at every spot of the carbon in a hydrocarbon. (Alkene is an unsaturated hydrocarbon)
Alkyne
Have a triple Carbon to Carbon bond (burn at 3000 deg C)
