Hydrocarbon compounds


Hydrocarbons are the most simple carbon compounds. From the name, hydrocarbon compounds are carbon compounds that are composed of hydrogen and carbon atoms. In everyday life we encounter many hydrocarbon compounds, such as kerosene, gasoline, natural gas, plastics and others.
Until now has been known for more than 2 million of hydrocarbons. To facilitate the study of hydrocarbons so much, experts mengolongkan hydrocarbon based arrangement of carbon atoms in the molecule.
Based on the arrangement of carbon atoms in the molecule, carbon compounds are divided into two major categories, namely compound aliphatic and cyclic compounds. Aliphatic hydrocarbons are carbon compounds chain opens its C and C it allows branched chain. Based on the amount of the bond, aliphatic hydrocarbons, aliphatic compounds are divided into saturated and unsaturated.
- The compound is a saturated aliphatic C chain aliphatic compounds it contains only single bonds only. This group is called alkanes.
Examples of saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons:


- Unsaturated aliphatic compounds are aliphatic compounds, varying chain C double bond or triple. If you have duplicate named alkenes and alkynes have triple called. Examples of unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons:


- Cyclic hydrocarbon compound is a compound of carbon chain C and its circular hoop may also bind the side chain. This group divided into alicyclic and aromatic compounds.
· Alicyclic compounds are aliphatic carbon compounds that form a closed chain.


· Aromatic compounds are compounds composed of six carbon atoms that form a chain C benzene.

  1. what is the bond of hydrocarbon?? is it polar or nonpolar??

    BalasHapus
  2. i mean the kind of bond. polar or nonpolar?? i missed typing

  3. ok, i will try to answer,

    saturated hydrocarbons (alkanes), consisting of a single bond and bound with hydrogen. pd whereas unsaturated bonds, having one or more double bonds, either duplicate or triplicate. Hydrocarbons having double bonds called alkenes.
    In general, hydrocarbons have such characteristics, built by the framework carbon atoms, a bond is a covalent bond forming compounds. This compound is a low boiling point corresponding to the reduced number of constituent carbon atoms, flammable. For hydrocarbon compounds that bind to the H atom is polar, and if it binds other atoms such as oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, chloride causes more polar molecules.
    hydrocarbons are gases at homolog 1 to 4 because,
    C1-C4 are gases at room temperature and pressure because antarmolekulnya tensile strength (cohesion) on the condition no longer able to withstand the movement of molecular dynamics. Because of its distinguished nonpolar, intermolekulernya force (cohesion) to be low. Moreover, if it contains a double bond, the electron cloud produces a repulsive force between the molecules that make weaker cohesion so that the lower boiling point.
