In this chapter we will consider: 1. Hydrocarbons


 The major functional groups  Hydrocarbons are compounds that
contain only carbon and hydrogen
 The correlation between properties of atoms
functional groups and molecules and ● Alkanes
intermolecular forces  hydrocarbons that do not have
multiple bonds between carbon
 Infrared (IR) spectroscopy, which can atoms
be used to determine what functional e.g.
groups are present in a molecule
pentane cyclohexane

1A. Alkanes 1B. Alkenes


 The primary sources of alkanes are natural gas and  Ethene and propene, the two simplest alkenes, are among
petroleum the most important industrial chemicals produced in the
United States
 The smaller alkanes (methane through butane) are gases
under ambient conditions  Ethene is used as a starting material for the synthesis of
many industrial compounds, including ethanol, ethylene
 Methane is the principal component of natural gas oxide, ethanal, and the polymer polyethylene

 Higher molecular weight alkanes are obtained largely by


refining petroleum

2. Polar Covalent Bonds
 The lobes of each p orbital above and
below the ring overlap with the lobes
Li F
of p orbitals on the atoms to either
side of it  Lithium fluoride has an ionic bond
 the six electrons associated with these H H
p orbitals (one electron from each H C C H
orbital) are delocalized about all six
carbon atoms of the ring H H
 Ethane has a covalent bond. The electrons
are shared equally between the carbon
atoms
