| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| define Saturated Hydrocarbons | have max number H atoms attache to each carbon atom, are alkanes and cycloalkanes with single C-C bonds |
| define unsaturated hydrocarbons | fewer H atoms attached to the carbon chain than alkanes, alkenes with double bonds, alkynes with triple bonds |
| what kind of hydrocarbons are alkenes and alkynes | unsaturated |
| what kind of hydrocarbons are alkanes and cycloalkanes | saturated |
| According to VSERP theory, what is the angle degree of the three groups bonded to double bond carbon atoms | 120º |
| according to VSERP why are alkenes flat | the atoms in a double bond all lie in the same plane |
| according to VSERP what is the angle degrees of the two groups bonded to each carbon in a triple bond | 180º |
| what is the simplest alkene formula | Ethene(ethylene), C₂H₄ |
| what type of bond connects the 2 carbon atoms of ethene | double bond |
| how many H atoms are bonded to each of the C atoms in ethene | 2 H atoms |
| why is ethene flat | because the atoms in the double bond all lie in the same place |
| what is a plant hormone used to accelerate the ripping of fruits | ethene |
| fragrant alkenes | the odors assoc with the smell of lemons, oranges, roses, and lavender due to volatile compounds that are synthesized by plants |
| What is the simplest alkyne | ethyne (acetylene) |
| what is acetylene | fuel used for welding |
| how to name alkenes and alkynes | when carbon chain has 4 or more C atoms, number the chain to five the lowest number to the first C in the double or triple bond |
| Naming alkene compounds step 1 | name longest carbon chain that contains the double bond, use ending -ene for alkene |
| Naming alkene compounds step 2 | number longest carbon chan starting from the end nearer the double bond |
| naming alkene compounds step 3 | give the location and name of each substituent in alphabetical order as a prefix to the alkene name |
