Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The two ways in which all hydrocarbons are alike and two ways in which they differ have to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Hydrocarbons:
They are the compounds which contain only carbon and hydrogen.
Alkenes are one of the important types of hydrocarbon which have at least one carbon-carbon double bond (

Chemistry In Context
- How many electron pairs are shared when a triple bond exists between two carbon atoms? What must he the geometric arrangement around the carbon atoms in a triple bond? Draw the Lewis structure of a simple molecule that contains a triple bond.arrow_forwardWhich of these is a hydroxyl group? A large organic molecule with different functional groups. A group marked A consists of a nitrogen atom and two hydrogen atoms attached to it. A group marked B consists of a phosphorus atom with four oxygen atoms. One of these oxygen atoms is connected to the phosphorus by a double bond. All other bonds are single. Two oxygen atoms have negative charges. A group marked C consists of a carbon atom connected to an oxygen atom by a double bond. A group marked D consists of an oxygen atom connected to a hydrogen atom. The group marked E consists of a sulfur atom connected with a hydrogen atom. A group marked F consists of a carbon atom, which is connected to one oxygen atom by a double bond and the other oxygen atom by a single bond. This last mentioned oxygen atom also has a hydrogen attached. EDACFarrow_forward>What are hydrocarbons? What are their main uses?arrow_forward
- We see that 1-propanol and 2-propanol have the same molecular formula, C3H7OH, but different molecular structures. What is the name for molecules that have the same molecular formula but different structural formulas (different shapes)? Use the specific term.arrow_forwardWhat are the similar physical properties of open-chain hydrocarbons and closed-chain hydrocarbons?arrow_forwardWrite a generic formula for each of the families of organic compounds- alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, and ketones?arrow_forward
