6. The hydrocarbon in which all the 4 valencies of carbon are fully occupied is called
as __________
a. Alkene c. Alkane
b. Alkyne d. Cycloalkane
The term Aliphatic has been derived from the Greek word “Aleiphar” which
translates to “fat”. It is used to describe hydrocarbons that are obtained by the
chemical degradation of oils or fats.
The simplest organic compounds are those composed of only two elements: carbon
and hydrogen. These compounds are called hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons
themselves are separated into two types: aliphatic hydrocarbons and aromatic
hydrocarbons. Aliphatic hydrocarbons are hydrocarbons based on chains of C
atoms. There are three types of aliphatic hydrocarbons. Alkanes are aliphatic
hydrocarbons with only single covalent bonds. Alkenes are hydrocarbons that
contain at least one C–C double bond, and alkynes are hydrocarbons that contain a
C–C triple bond. Occasionally, we find an aliphatic hydrocarbon with a ring of C
atoms; these hydrocarbons are
called cycloalkanes (or cycloalkenes or cycloalkynes). Because alkanes have the
maximum number of H atoms possible according to the rules of covalent bonds,
alkanes are also referred to as saturated hydrocarbons.
Note
The word saturated has the same meaning for hydrocarbons as it does for the
dietary fats and oils: the molecule has no carbon-to-carbon double bonds (C=C).

cycloalkynes).
Alkanes
The simplest alkanes have their C atoms bonded in a straight chain; these are
called normal alkanes. They are named according to the number of C atoms in the
chain. The smallest alkane is methane:
The diagrams representing alkanes are called structural formulas because they
show the structure of the molecule. As molecules get larger, structural formulas
become more and more complex. One way around this is to use a condensed
structural formula, which lists the formula of each C atom in the backbone of the
molecule.
The condensed formulas show hydrogen atoms right next to the carbon atoms to
which they are attached, as illustrated for butane:
The ultimate condensed formula is a line-angle formula (or line drawing) , in which
carbon atoms are implied at the corners and ends of lines, and each carbon atom is
understood to be attached to enough hydrogen atoms to give each carbon atom four
bonds. For example, we can represent pentane (CH 3CH2CH2CH2CH3) and
isopentane [(CH3)2CHCH2CH3] as follows:

Homologous Series
Methane (CH4), ethane (C2H6), and propane (C3H8) are the beginning of a
series of compounds in which any two members in a sequence differ by one
carbon atom and two hydrogen atoms—namely, a CH2 unit. The first 10
members of this series are given in Table 9.2.19.2.1.

Note
Consider the series in Figure 9.2.29.2.2. The sequence starts with C3H8, and
a CH2 unit is added in each step moving up the series. Any family of
compounds in which adjacent members differ from each other by a definite
factor (here a CH2 group) is called a homologous series. The members of
such a series, called homologs, have properties that vary in a regular and
predictable manner. The principle of homology gives organization to organic
chemistry in much the same way that the periodic table gives organization to
inorganic chemistry. Instead of a bewildering array of individual carbon
compounds, we can study a few members of a homologous series and from
them deduce some of the properties of other compounds in the series.

has been devised by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry
(IUPAC). These rules, used worldwide, are known as the IUPAC System of
Nomenclature. A stem name in Table 9.2.19.2.1 indicates the number of
carbon atoms in the longest continuous chain (LCC). Atoms or groups
attached to this carbon chain, called substituents, are then named, with their
positions indicated by numbers.
Note
Alkenes
Note
The word unsaturated has the same meaning for hydrocarbons as it does for
the dietary fats and oils: the molecule has at least one carbon-to-carbon
double (C=C) or triple bond (C=C).

The name of an alkene is derived from the name of the alkane with the same
number of carbon atoms. The presence of the double bond is signified by
replacing the suffix -ane with the suffix -ene. The location of the double bond
is identified by naming the smaller of the numbers of the carbon atoms
participating in the double bond:
Alkynes
Hydrocarbon molecules with one or more triple bonds are called alkynes;
they make up another series of unsaturated hydrocarbons. Two carbon
atoms joined by a triple bond are bound together by one σ bond and two π
bonds. The sp-hybridized carbons involved in the triple bond have bond
angles of 180°, giving these types of bonds a linear, rod-like shape.
The simplest member of the alkyne series is ethyne, C2H2, commonly called
acetylene. The Lewis structure for ethyne, a linear molecule, is:
The IUPAC nomenclature for alkynes is similar to that for alkenes except
that the suffix -yne is used to indicate a triple bond in the chain. For
example, CH3CH2C≡CHCH3CH2C≡CH is called 1-butyne.
Alkenes and alkynes are named in a similar fashion. The biggest difference
is that when identifying the longest carbon chain, it must contain the C–C
double or triple bond. Furthermore, when numbering the main chain, the
double or triple bond gets the lowest possible number. This means that there
may be longer or higher-numbered substituents than may be allowed if the
molecule were an alkane. For example, this molecule
is 2,4-dimethyl-3-heptene (note the number and the hyphens that indicate
the position of the double bond).
Ethylene (the common industrial name for ethene) is a basic raw material in
the production of polyethylene and other important compounds. Over 135
million tons of ethylene were produced worldwide in 2010 for use in the
polymer, petrochemical, and plastic industries. Ethylene is produced
industrially in a process called cracking, in which the long hydrocarbon
chains in a petroleum mixture are broken into smaller molecules.
Halogens can also react with alkenes and alkynes, but the reaction is
different. In these cases, the halogen reacts with the C–C double or triple
bond and inserts itself onto each C atom involved in the multiple bonds. This
reaction is called an addition reaction. One example is
The reaction conditions are usually mild; in many cases, the halogen reacts
spontaneously with an alkene or an alkyne.
Hydrogen can also be added across a multiple bond; this reaction is called
a hydrogenation reaction. In this case, however, the reaction conditions
may not be mild; high pressures of H2 gas may be necessary. A platinum or
palladium catalyst is usually employed to get the reaction to proceed at a
reasonable pace:

The cis isomer has the two single hydrogen atoms on the same side of the
molecule, while the trans isomer has them on opposite sides of the
molecule. In both molecules, the bonding order of the atoms is the same. In
order for geometric isomers to exist, there must be a rigid structure in the
molecule to prevent free rotation around a bond. If the double bond in an
alkene was capable of rotating, the two geometric isomers above would not
exist. In addition, the two carbon atoms must each have two different groups
attached in order for there to be geometric isomers. Propene has no
geometric isomers because one of the carbon atoms has two single
hydrogens bonded to it.
