Alkanes have only single carbon-carbon bond.
Alkenes have min. a double carbon-carbon bond.
Alkynes have min. a triple carbon-carbon bond.
Single and double bonds.
Smaller alkanes and alkenes
Alkanes are used in the following: - production of polymers - serve as intermediate in the synthesis of drugs, pesticides and other valuable chemicals (e.g. ethanol, acetic acid, ethylene glycol, vinyl chloride) - plant hormone - commercial fuel (propane) - components of gasoline (pentane and octane) - natural gas (methane) - paraffin wax
all the single bonded hydrocarbons are saturated ... they do not add up further hydrogen or other atoms ... they are of two types 1- alkanes 2- cyclo alkanes....
Here are some examples of hydrocarbons: Chemical examples: Methane, ethane, propane, butane, pentane, hexane, etc. Everyday examples: LP gas (cooking gas), petrol, candle wax, petroleum gel, some plastics such as those shopping bags and milk bottles are made of, acetylene (used for welding).
DNA (deoxyribnucleaic acid) in cells and RNA (ribonucleaic acid) are both polymers formed by organic compounds in a natural environment. In so far as organic chemistry is concerned, there are vast quantities of polymer types which can be made using organic molecules.
Alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and aromatic hydrocarbons
Alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and aromatic hydrocarbons
There are many types of hydrocarbons including alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, aryl compounds, cyclic compounds etc.
The 3 main types of organic compounds used in society are alkanes, alkenes and alkynes
Saturated oils and waxes are all types of alkanes and alkenes The Ice man ;) Call me ladies... ;')
Smaller alkanes and alkenes
The formula for a hydrocarbon is CnH2n+2
hydrocarbons (arenes), alkanes, alkenes, cycloalkanes and alkyne-based compounds are different types of hydrocarbons.
There are many different possibilities. A hydrocarbon is a saturated compound, so if you want to attach anything, e.g. chlorine, you have to drop off a hydrogen from the hydrocarbon. It wouldn't be a full molecule which attaches of course, as it needs a bond to attach by.
In organic chemistry, a hydrocarbon is a compound consisting of only carbon and hydrogen atoms. There are different types of hydrocarbons, such as saturated hydrocarbons, which include alkanes (e.g.- methane), unsaturated hydrocarbons, which include alkenes and alkynes (e.g.- ethylene and ethyne), cycloalkanes (e.g. - cyclopropane), and arenes, also known as aromatic hydrocarbons (e.g. - benzene).
Organic chemistry is the study and analysis of Chemistry involving chains composed of carbon. Such types of chains include: Alkanes, Alkenes, Alkynes, Ketones, Ethers, Alcohols, Esthers, etc.. All of these chains contain the element Carbon but they are characterized differently due to the presence of different functional groups, for example: The functional group of a Ketone is a double bond to an Oxygen.
Terminal alkynes can form acetylides.
