Study Notes
Electron Dot Structure of Ethene
- Ethene has the formula C₂H₄.
- The electron dot structure shows the arrangement of valence electrons between the carbon atoms, illustrating a double bond.
- Another compound, ethyne (C₂H₂), also exists. It has a triple bond between the carbon atoms.
- Both ethene and ethyne are examples of unsaturated hydrocarbons.
- The text shows electron dot diagrams of ethene.
Unsaturated Compounds
- Compounds with double or triple bonds between carbon atoms are called unsaturated hydrocarbons.
- Unsaturated hydrocarbons are more reactive than saturated hydrocarbons.
- Unsaturated compounds include ethene (C₂H₄) and ethyne (C₂H₂).
- Unsaturated hydrocarbons have double or triple bonds between their carbon atoms.
Saturated Hydrocarbons
- Saturated hydrocarbons contain only single bonds between carbon atoms.
- Methane, ethane, propane, butane, pentane, and hexane are examples of saturated hydrocarbons. (See Table 4.2 for structures and formulas, details of which are listed below.)
- Methane, ethane, and propane have 1, 2, and 3 carbon atoms, respectively.
- The text explains that saturated hydrocarbons are characterized by only single bonds between carbon atoms.
- Table 4.2 details the formulas and structures of saturated hydrocarbons from methane (CH₄) to hexane (C₆H₁₄).
- Methane formula: CH₄. Structure: H-C-H (with attached H's)
- Ethane formula: C₂H₆. Structure: H-C-C-H (with all attached H's)
- Propane formula: C₃H₈. Structure: H-C-C-C-H (with all attached H's)
- Butane formula: C₄H₁₀. Structure: H-C-C-C-C-H (with all attached H's)
- Pentane formula: C₅H₁₂. Structure: H-C-C-C-C-C-H (with all attached H's)
- Hexane formula: C₆H₁₄. Structure: H-C-C-C-C-C-C-H (with all attached H's)
Carbon Chains, Branches, and Rings
- Carbon atoms can form chains, branches, and rings.
- Saturated hydrocarbons have carbon atoms connected in a chain.
- The number of carbon atoms in a hydrocarbon affects its name and structure (as shown in Table 4.2).
- The table provides examples of saturated hydrocarbons with 1 to 6 carbon atoms (methane to hexane), showing corresponding formulas and structures.
- The number of carbon atoms in a saturated hydrocarbon directly correlates to its formula and structure.
- Table 4.2 details the names, formulas, and structures of saturated hydrocarbons from methane to hexane with 1 to 6 carbon atoms, respectively.
- The formulas and structures for saturated hydrocarbons from methane to hexane are detailed, including: methane (CH₄), ethane (C₂H₆), propane (C₃H₈), butane (C₄H₁₀), pentane (C₅H₁₂), and hexane (C₆H₁₄).
Naturally Occurring Acids
- The table displays a variety of naturally occurring acids (acetic, citric, tartaric, oxalic, lactic, and methanoic) and their sources (vinegar, orange, tamarind, tomato, sour milk, lemon, ant sting, nettle sting).
- The table helps to understand the association of these acids with various natural sources.
