Hydrocarbons

Cards (13)

  • 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.
