  1. Hydrocarbons

  2. Organic Compounds • Contain the element carbon, and usually hydrogen. • “Hydrocarbons”

  3. Carbon • Carbon has 4 electrons available for sharing. • Can form single, double, triple bonds. • Can never form more than four bonds.

  4. Prefixes

  5. Alkanes • Hydrocarbons that have only single covalent bonds. • Simplest is CH4 (methane) • Carbons can also bond to carbons in alkanes. • Names always end in –ane.

  6. Examples • ON BOARD!!!

  7. Alkenes • Have at least one double bond. • Simplest is C2H4 (ethene) • End in -ene

  8. Examples • ON BOARD!!!

  9. Alkynes • Have at least one triple bond. • End in -yne

  10. Examples • ON BOARD!!!

  11. Alcohols • Organic compounds made of oxygen as well as carbon and hydrogen. • Hydroxyl groups (-OH) • End in –ol

  12. Examples • ON BOARD!!!
