Chapter 2: Carbon Compounds
Hydrocarbons
• Consist of only Carbon and Hydrogen Atoms
• Alkanes—Contain the Maximum # of H Atoms
CH4
Methane
H3C
CH3
Ethane
Propane
• Alkenes—Hydrocarbons w/ Double Bond(s)
Ethene
Propene
Butadiene
Hydrocarbons Continued
• Alkynes—Hydrocarbons w/ Triple Bond(s)
Ethyne
Propyne
1-Butyne
2-Butyne
• Alkanes: Referred to as Saturated Compounds
(Contain Maximum # of Hydrogen Atoms)
• Alkenes/Alkynes: Unsaturated Compounds;
Can React w/ H2 (Hydrogenation Reactions)
Aromatic Compounds: Benzene
• Benzene/Aromatics are Special Class
• Understood in Terms of Kekulé Structures or MOs
Polar Covalent Bonds
H—Cl
• Electronegativity Difference Pulls Electron
Density Toward More Electronegative Atom
H—Br
• This Creates What is Called a Dipole
C═O
• Unit of Dipole Moment Measure: Debye
H
Br
For Bonds, Dipole Moment is Indicated w/ Arrow From Least
to Most Electronegative; What About Molecular Dipoles?
