Question | Answer |
---|---|
saturated hydrocarbons | alkanes - single c-c bonds; CnH2n+2 |
hydrocarbons that have two less hydrogens than alkanes | alkenes - C=C bonds; CnH2n |
hydrocarbons have two less hydrogens than alkenes | alkynes; C(triple)C bonds; CnH2n-2 |
hydrocarbon prefix for one carbon molecule | meth; methane has one carbon surrounded by four hydrogens (CH4) |
hydrocarbon prefix for 2 carbon molecule | eth; ethane (C2H6), ethene (C2H4), ethyne (C2H2) |
hydrocarbon prefix for 3 carbon molecule | prop; propane (C3H8), propene (C3H6), propkyne (C3H4) |
hydrocarbon prefix for 4 carbon molecule | but; butane (C4H10), butene (C4H8), butyne (C4H6) |
hydrocarbon prefix for 5 carbon molecule | pent; pentane (C5H12), pentene (C5H10), pentyne (C5H8) |
hydrocarbon prefix for 6 carbon molecule | HEX; HEXANE (C6H14) |
hydrocarbon prefix for 10 carbon molecule | DEC; DECANE (C10H22) |
order hydrocarbons from least saturation of hydrogens to most saturated | alkynes < alkenes < alkanes |
