Front (Question)

Hydrocarbons

Back (Answer)

A compound containing only hydrogen and carbon atoms

Front (Question)

Saturated hydrocarbons

Back (Answer)

Contain only single carbon-carbon bonds

Front (Question)

What are saturated hydrocarbons known as?

Back (Answer)

Alkanes

Front (Question)

General formula of alkanes

Back (Answer)

CnH2n+2

Front (Question)

Unsaturated hydrocarbons

Back (Answer)

Contain at least one multiple bond between carbon atoms

Front (Question)

What are unsaturated hydrocarbons known as?

Back (Answer)

• Known as alkenes if carbon double bond present • If carbon triple bond present, mown as alkynes

Front (Question)

Alkynes

Back (Answer)

Carbon triple bond present

Front (Question)

General formula of unsaturated hydrocarbons

Back (Answer)

CnH2n

Front (Question)

#10

Front (Question)

Draw the two different benzene rings

Back (Answer)

#11

Front (Question)

Homologous Series

Back (Answer)

Family of compounds containing same functional group but with each successive member differing by a —CH2 group

#12

Front (Question)

Name the first 10 alkanes

Back (Answer)

• Methane • Ethane • Propane • Butane • Pentane • Hexane • Heptane • Octane • Nonane • Decane

#13

Front (Question)

Explain the trends in physical properties of alkanes as you go along there successive order

Back (Answer)

• As Mr of each member increases by a CH2 group, Mr increases by 14 • Melting and boiling point increases as chain increases

#14

Front (Question)

Why does the melting and boiling points of alkanes increase?

Back (Answer)

Chain length increases

#15

Front (Question)

Functional Groups

Back (Answer)

Atom/group responsible for the characteristic reactions of the compound

#16

Front (Question)

Why do alkanes contain no functional group?

Back (Answer)

Alkanes are relatively inert

#17

Front (Question)

Which suffix do alkyl groups contain?

Back (Answer)

‘yl’

#18

Front (Question)

General formula of alkyl groups

Back (Answer)

CnH2n+1

#19

Front (Question)

What symbols are used to label alkyl groups?

Back (Answer)

‘R’ groups

#20

Front (Question)

What do ‘R’ groups represent?

Back (Answer)

‘R’ is used to represent other fragments of an organic compound, they’re not involved in reactions

#21

Front (Question)

What do organic molecules usually comprise of?

Back (Answer)

• A ring of C atoms • Alkyl (R) groups • 1+ functional groups

#22
