Alcohols
are
hydrocarbons
that contain a
hydroxyl
(
-OH)
group
attached to a
carbon
atom.
Alkenes
are
hydrocarbons
that contain
one
or
more
carbon-to-carbon
double
bonds (
C=C
).
A
homologous series
is a group of compounds with similar
chemical properties
but different
molecular formulas
, such as
alkanes
or
alcohols.
Alkenes
are
unsaturated
hydrocarbons that contain at least
one double bond
between carbon atoms.
Alkanes
are
hydrocarbons
that have only
single
bonds; all of their carbons have only
single
bonds to other carbons.
Hydrocarbons
are
organic
compounds that contain only
single
bonds between
carbon
and
hydrogen
atoms.
The general formula for
alkanes
is
CnH2n+2.
The general formula for an
alkene
is
CnH2n.
The general formula for an
alkane
is
CnH2n+2.
Addition reactions
occur when
two molecules combine
to form a
single product.
Alkenes can be represented by the
general formula CnH2n.
Alcohols are
organic
compounds containing the functional group
-OH.
Carboxylic acids
are
organic
compounds containing the
carboxyl
(
-COOH
) functional group.
