Study Notes
Hydrocarbons
- Hydrocarbon refers to a compound containing only hydrogen and carbon atoms.
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG)
- LPG is abbreviated as LPG.
- Primary components of LPG are propane and butane.
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)
- CNG stands for Compressed Natural Gas.
Natural Gas
- Primary source of natural gas is fossil fuel deposits.
Alkanes
- First member of the alkane family is methane (CH₄).
- Alkanes contain carbon-carbon and carbon-hydrogen single bonds.
Alkenes and Alkynes
- Alkenes and alkynes contain carbon-carbon multiple bonds.
- Formation of addition products of unsymmetrical alkenes and alkynes can be predicted using Markovnikov's rule.
Aromatic Hydrocarbons
- Aromatic hydrocarbons have a planar ring structure, illustrating the concept of aromaticity, and undergo electrophilic substitution reactions.
IUPAC Nomenclature
- Hydrocarbons are named according to their parent chain and suffix in the IUPAC system of nomenclature.
Fuels
- Petrol, diesel, and kerosene oil obtain their energy from the combustion of hydrocarbons.
Cycloalkanes
- Cycloalkanes are a type of hydrocarbon that forms a closed chain or a ring.
Coal Mines and Marshy Places
