Introduction
In organic chemistry, a hydrocarbon is an organic compound consisting of hydrogen and carbon, and there are three groups in which they are divided:
- Saturated hydrocarbons
- Unsaturated hydrocarbons
- Aromatic hydrocarbons
The video will help you with topics such as:
- What are hydrocarbons
- How and why they are classified
- Subcategories for saturated hydrocarbons, unsaturated hydrocarbons and aromatic hydrocarbons
Task
- What are Hydrocarbons made of?
- In how many groups are hyrocarbons divided?
- How many subgroups there are in total?
- What kind of a bound does an alkane have?
- What kind of a bound does an alkene have?
- What kind of a bound does an alkyne have?
- How many double bonds does an alkadiene have?
- What kind of a bounds does a cycloalkane have?
- How are the bonds between carbon atoms arranged in a cycloalkane?
- What is the name of the ring that is in a aromatic hydrocarbon?
Process
The task contains 10 questions that can be answered after watching the video.
You can write down the answers to these questions in your notes. The answers are no longer than 1 sentence.
Evaluation
The correct answers to the given questions:
- Hydrogen and carbon
- Three
- Five
- Single bond
- Double bond
- Triple bond
- Two
- Single bonds
- In a ring
