    The document defines key terms related to hydrocarbons and fuels, including hydrocarbon, cracking, saturated, unsaturated, isomer, fossil fuel, fuel, petroleum fraction, particulates, and acid rain. Hydrocarbons are molecules made of carbon and hydrogen. Cracking breaks large hydrocarbon molecules into smaller ones. Saturated hydrocarbons have only single bonds, while unsaturated have at least one double or triple bond. Isomers are compounds with the same molecular formula but different structural formulas. Fossil fuels like petroleum are formed from ancient organic materials and release stored energy when burned. Petroleum fractions group molecules by similar boiling points. Particulates are tiny solid particles that enter the air when fuels burn. Acid

    1. Explain the term hydrocarbon.

    2. Explain the term cracking.

    3.

    4. What is meant by the term saturated?

    5. What is meant by the term unsaturated?

    contains a double bond/triple bond/multiple bond; OR not all bonds are single bonds [1]

    6. Explain the term isomer

    (compounds) same molecular formula;

    different structural formulae [2]

    7. What is meant by the term substitution reaction?

    8. Explain what is meant by the term fossil fuel.

    (burn to) release energy; [1]

    take a long time to form (from organic material); [1]


    9. What is meant by the term fuel? (1)

    substance/material/ compound/element/mixture (burnt) to produce/release energy or


    heat

    10. What do you understand by the term petroleum fraction?


    (Group of) molecules with similar boiling points / molecules with limited range of boiling
    points [1]

    11. Explain the term Particulates?

    When fuel burns in air tiny particles of solid s also get in the air called particulates. [1]

    12. What is meant by the term Acid rain?

    Rain with acidity below about pH 5 due to the reaction of sulfur oxides with water [1]
