6 Questions
What are the three main categories of hydrocarbons based on the types of carbon-carbon bonds present?
Saturated, unsaturated, and aromatic hydrocarbons
What type of carbon-carbon bonds do saturated hydrocarbons contain?
Single bonds
What are alkanes and how are they formed?
Alkanes are open chain hydrocarbons formed by joining different carbon atoms with single bonds.
What are cycloalkanes and how do they differ from alkanes?
Cycloalkanes are closed chain or ring hydrocarbons formed by carbon atoms, differing from alkanes.
What type of carbon-carbon bonds do unsaturated hydrocarbons contain?
Multiple bonds – double bonds, triple bonds, or both
What are aromatic hydrocarbons and how are they different from other types of hydrocarbons?
Aromatic hydrocarbons are a special type of cyclic compounds, different from open chain and close chain hydrocarbons.
