Hydrocarbon compounds

Hydrocarbons are the most simple carbon compounds. From the name, hydrocarbon compounds are carbon compounds that are composed of hydrogen and carbon atoms. In everyday life we encounter many hydrocarbon compounds, such as kerosene, gasoline, natural gas, plastics and others.

Until now has been known for more than 2 million of hydrocarbons. To facilitate the study of hydrocarbons so much, experts mengolongkan hydrocarbon based arrangement of carbon atoms in the molecule.

Based on the arrangement of carbon atoms in the molecule, carbon compounds are divided into two major categories, namely compound aliphatic and cyclic compounds. Aliphatic hydrocarbons are carbon compounds chain opens its C and C it allows branched chain. Based on the amount of the bond, aliphatic hydrocarbons, aliphatic compounds are divided into saturated and unsaturated.

- The compound is a saturated aliphatic C chain aliphatic compounds it contains only single bonds only. This group is called alkanes.

Examples of saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons:

 

- Unsaturated aliphatic compounds are aliphatic compounds, varying chain C double bond or triple. If you have duplicate named alkenes and alkynes have triple called. Examples of unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons:

 

 - Cyclic hydrocarbon compound is a compound of carbon chain C and its circular hoop may also bind the side chain. This group divided into alicyclic and aromatic compounds.

· Alicyclic compounds are aliphatic carbon compounds that form a closed chain.


 

 · Aromatic compounds are compounds composed of six carbon atoms that form a chain C benzene.
