Study Notes
Physical Properties of Hydrocarbons
- Hydrocarbons are insoluble in water but soluble in non-polar solvents.
- Alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes have lower densities than water, increasing with the number of carbon atoms.
- Alkanes with branching on a carbon chain have lower boiling points, while cycloalkanes have higher boiling points compared to their non-cyclic counterparts.
Chemical Properties of Hydrocarbons
-
Combustion: Hydrocarbons react with oxygen, producing carbon dioxide, water, and heat energy.
- Complete combustion: Excess oxygen results in CO2 and H2O.
- Incomplete combustion: Limited oxygen produces CO and H2O.
-
Types of Bonds:
- Alkanes have single bonds (sigma bonds), making them stable.
- Alkenes and Alkynes have double and triple bonds (pi bonds), making them less stable.
-
Reaction Types:
- Alkanes undergo substitution reactions.
- Alkenes and Alkynes undergo addition reactions.
Specific Chemical Properties
- Halogenation: Reaction between a substance and a halogen (e.g., Cl2, Br2) where halogen atoms are incorporated into the substance. (Applies to alkanes, cycloalkanes, and alkenes).
- Hydrogenation: Addition reaction of H2 to organic compounds. Occurs in alkenes and cycloalkenes.
- Hydrohalogenation: Addition reaction of hydrogen halides (HCl, HBr, HI) to organic compounds. Occurs in alkenes and cycloalkenes.
- Hydration: Addition of H2O to organic compounds. Occurs in alkenes and cycloalkenes.
- Polymerization: Alkenes can add to each other to form polymers.
- Alkylation: Reaction specifically for aromatic hydrocarbons.
- Nitration: Reaction specifically for aromatic hydrocarbons.

Physical Properties of Hydrocarbons
- Solubility: Insoluble in water, soluble in nonpolar solvents
- Density: Lower than water (water = 1.0 g/mL), increases with more carbon atoms
-
Boiling Point:
- Branching on a carbon chain lowers boiling point
- Cyclic alkanes have a higher boiling point than their noncyclic counterparts
- Alkanes and alkenes with 1-4 carbon atoms are gases at room temperature
- Alkanes and alkenes with 5-17 carbon atoms are liquids at room temperature
