HYDROCARBONS AND ITS TYPES (Class 10th)
♧HYDROCARBONS ♧
¤ A compound made up of hydrogen and carbon is called hydrocarbon.
¤ Types of hydrocarbons:-
> Saturated hydrocarbon
> Unsaturated hydrocarbon
☆SATURATED HYDROCARBON ☆
¤ A hydrocarbon in which the carbon atoms are connected by only single bonds is called a saturated hydrocarbon.
>Alkanes is other name of hydrocarbon
> the general formula of saturated hydrocarbon or alkanes is CnH2n +2 where n is the number of carbon atoms in one molecule of the Alkane.
☆USATURATED HYDROCARBON ☆
¤ A Hydrocarbon in which the two carbon atoms are connected by a 'double bond' or a 'triple bond' is called an unsaturated hydrocarbon.
> There are two types of unsaturated hydrocarbons:-
▪︎ Alkenes:-An unsaturated hydrocarbon in which the two carbon atoms are connected by a 'double bond' is called an alkene.
> The general formula of an alkene is CnH2n where n is the number of carbon atoms in its one molecule.
▪︎Alkynes:-An unsaturated hydrocarbon in which the two carbon atoms are connected by a 'triple bond' is called an alkynes.
> the general formula of alkynes is CnH2n -2 Where n is the number of carbon atoms in one molecule of the alkynes.
