Overview
Hydrocarbons are compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen atoms. They are the foundation of organic chemistry and play a crucial role in our daily lives as fuels (LPG, CNG, petrol, diesel), raw materials for industries, and starting materials for manufacturing polymers, dyes, and drugs. This ch
Key Concepts
Hydrocarbons are classified into three main
Hydrocarbons are classified into three main types: (1) Saturated hydrocarbons (alkanes) with only single bonds (CnH2n+2), (2) Unsaturated hydrocarbons
Alkanes have sp3 hybridized carbon atoms
Alkanes have sp3 hybridized carbon atoms forming tetrahedral geometry with bond angles of 109.5°. They show conformational isomerism due to free rotat
Alkenes contain C=C double bonds consisting
Alkenes contain C=C double bonds consisting of one σ bond and one π bond. The π bond makes alkenes reactive toward electrophilic addition reactions. T
Alkynes contain C≡C triple bonds
Alkynes contain C≡C triple bonds with two π bonds and one σ bond. Terminal alkynes show acidic character due to sp hybridization. They undergo additio
Benzene (C6H6) exhibits aromaticity characterized by
Benzene (C6H6) exhibits aromaticity characterized by planarity, complete delocalization of π electrons, and presence of (4n+2) π electrons (Hückel's r
