Section 3: Hydrocarbons Chapter 25: Carbon and Its Compounds
Hydrocarbons • Organic molecules that contain only carbon and hydrogen • C and H have similar electronegativities • = nonpolar bonds • Properties: • Poor conductors of electricity • Low density • Low boiling point • Low melting point • Insoluble in water
Hydrocarbons • Hard to find because C reacts readily with O and N • Have to dig deep in the earth • Fossil fuels • Hydrocarbons more common on other planets
Hydrocarbons • Structures and Formulas • C can form single bonds, double bonds, triple bonds, straight chains, branched chains, rings • Molecular formula: C3H8 • Structural formula: • Condensed structural formula: CH3CH2CH3
