Alkane General Formula

A general formula that describes the structure of alkanes, which are saturated hydrocarbons with single bonds between carbon atoms.

Aromatic Hydrocarbons

Aromatic hydrocarbons are characterized by a special type of ring structure called an aromatic ring. This ring contains alternating single and double bonds, resulting in a delocalized system of electrons. The delocalization of electrons contributes to the stability and reactivity of aromatic compounds.

Close Chain Hydrocarbon

Hydrocarbons with a closed ring structure, where carbon atoms are arranged in a cyclical fashion.

Hexene

A saturated hydrocarbon with 6 carbon atoms and a double bond between two carbon atoms.

Properties of Close Chain Hydrocarbons

Close chain hydrocarbons often show higher stability and different reactivity compared to open chain hydrocarbons due to the cyclic structure. The ring structure, with its delocalized electrons, contributes to the unique characteristics of these compounds.

Study Notes

Hydrocarbons

The general formula for alkanes is CnH2n+2, where n is the number of carbon atoms.

Aromatic Hydrocarbons

Aromatic hydrocarbons do not have a property of being saturated.

IUPAC Nomenclature

The IUPAC name for a hydrocarbon with 6 carbon atoms and a double bond is hex-2-ene.

Close Chain Hydrocarbons

A close chain hydrocarbon is a type of hydrocarbon that has a continuous chain of carbon atoms.
Example: hexane (C6H14) is a close chain hydrocarbon.
Unique properties of close chain hydrocarbons include:
- They have a higher boiling point compared to branched chain hydrocarbons.
- They have a higher melting point compared to branched chain hydrocarbons.
