Hydrocarbons Compounds Containing Only Carbon and Hydrogen

When carbon forms a double bond and two single bonds, there are three electron groups around each carbon atom, and VSEPR theory predicts a trigonal planar geometry. 

When carbon forms a triple bond and a single bond (or two double bonds), there are two electron groups around each carbon atom, resulting in a linear geometry. 

4 Hydrocarbons Compounds Containing Oniy Carbon and Hydrogen  

The difference between saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons is explained in Sections 18.5 and 18.8. 

These formulas apply only to open-chain (noncyclical) hydrocarbons.

Petroleum, the raw material of the petrochemical industry, consists mostly of members of the simplest family of organic compounds, the hydrocarbons, compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen. There is an enormous number of hydrocarbons because carbon can form an amazing variety of chains, rings, and networks of atoms, and can do so by forming single, double, and triple bonds. 

As noted above, hydrocarbon compounds contain only carbon and hydrogen. The major types of hydrocarbons are alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and aromatic compounds. Examples of each are shown in Figure 1.9. 

Alkane. A saturated (i.e., no double bonds) hydrocarbon compound containing only carbon and hydrogen. Also called paraffins. 

This relationship is very valuable in characterizing an unknown compound. The calculation just presented is for hydrocarbons (compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen) and ignores the contribution from the isotope of hydrogen, called deuterium. In rigorous calculations, the contribution from deuterium would be taken into account.

You can verify that Cg Hig has a molar mass of 114 g/mol. This compound, containing only carbon and hydrogen, is an example of a hydrocarbon. Its name is octane, from the eight carbon atoms in the molecule. Gasoline Is known to contain hydrocarbons, so this is a reasonable result. 

Hydrocarbons are the simplest organic compounds, containing only carbon and hydrogen. There are three families of hydrocarbons. The alkanes have only single bonds and are said to be saturated. Alkanes are very stable and generally unreactive. Alkenes and alkynes have multiple bonds between two adjacent carbon atoms and are said to be unsaturated. This unsaturation makes alkenes and alkynes more reactive than alkanes. 

Combustion reactions are redox reactions in which the chemical species rapidly combines with oxygen and usually emits heat and light. Reactions of this type are extremely important in our society as the sources of heat energy. Complete combustion of carbon yields carbon dioxide, and complete combustion of hydrogen yields water. The complete combustion of hydrocarbons, organic compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen, yields carbon dioxide and water ... 

Other important natural sources of organic chemicals are the so-called fossil fuels - natural gas, petroleum, and coal - all deposited in the earth from the decay of plant and animal remains, and containing thousands of degradation products. Most of these are simple compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen (technically and even reasonably known as hydrocarbons). Natural gas is relatively simple... 

Hydrocarbon A chemical compound containing only carbon and hydrogen atoms. 

Hydrocarbons are compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen. Not only are hydrocarbons important in themselves, but they are the foundation of all the other classes of organic compounds. We must learn how to name and write formulas for the hydrocarbons and learn a few of their simple reactions. The number of such compounds is almost uncountable because carbon atoms can bond to other carbon atoms in seemingly limitless numbers. (An eight-carbon chain is shown in Figure 20.1. Compounds with extremely long chains are discussed in... 

A compound containing only carbon and hydrogen is 85.63% C by mass. Reaction of this compound with H20 produces a secondary alcohol as the major product and a primary alcohol as the minor product (see Exercise 44). If the molar mass of the hydrocarbon is between 50 and 60 g/mol, name the compound. 

A hydrocarbon is a compound containing only carbon and hydrogen atoms. Hydrocarbons are the main constituents of natural gas and gasoline. 

The most general classification of organic compounds divides them into hydrocarbons and substituted hydrocarbons. A hydrocarbon molecule contains only carbon and hydrogen. A substituted hydrocarbon is one in which one or more hydrogen atoms is replaced by another atom or group of atoms. 

Hydrocarbons are compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen. They are classified into aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons. Aliphatic hydrocarbons can be divided into three major groups - alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes. Alkanes come under saturated hydrocarbons, because they have carbon-carbon single bonds. Alkenes and alkynes are unsaturated hydrocarbons, since they have carbon-carbon double and triple bonds, respectively. 

A student is assigned to identify an unknown compound in an organic chemistry class. She is sure that the compound contains only carbon and hydrogen atoms. In addition, the unknown compound is a saturated hydrocarbon. If there are fourteen hydrogens in a molecule of this unknown compound, and it does not have a ring structure, what is the most likely number of carbons in this compound ...
