Study Notes
Hydrocarbons
- Contain only single bonds and are heavily laden with hydrogen.
Types of Hydrocarbons
- Saturated Hydrocarbons (Alkanes): Have straight chain structures with no rings, and can be classified further by the type of bonds they contain.
- Unsaturated Hydrocarbons (Arenes): Are circularly structured organic compounds that contain sigma bonds along with delocalized pi electrons.
- Arenes: Less reactive than alkanes, useful in industrial solvents for nonpolar compounds.
Characteristics of Hydrocarbons
- May consist of a single, double, or triple bond between carbon-carbon atoms.
- May possess one or multiple carbon rings.
- Hydrogen atoms are attached to the carbon ring.
