If there is one carbonatom in the molecule it is:“meth” (1 carbon atom in the chain)+ “ane” (for alkane): methane.If there are four carbon atoms in themolecule it is:“but” (4 carbon atoms in the chain)+ “ane” (for alkane): butane.● The third example is propane, analken e with three carbon atoms:“pro” (3 carbon atoms in the chain)+ “ene” (for alkene).● The fourth example is ethyne, analkyn e with a two carbon chain:“eth” (2 carbon atoms in the chain)+ “yne” (for alkyne).HHH H H HH C C C C H4but-C H-anebutaneHH H H HHC HHH C C3prop-C C-enepropene2eth-C C-yneethyneH HHC C HH© Diagram Visual Information Ltd.●H156CHEMISTRY OF CARBONKey wordsalkanehomologousserieshydrocarbonvan der WaalsforcesThe first six alkanesThe alkan es form an hom ologou sseries of compounds that have thegeneral formula CnH2n+2, where n is apositive integer.
Each alkane moleculediffers from the previous one in theseries by -CH2- .● They have similar chemical propertiesand show a gradation of physicalproperties, such as melting point andboiling point, as the molecular sizeincreases.● Alkane molecules are attracted to eachother by van der Waals forces. Asmolecular size increases, there is moreoverlap between the molecules, andthe intermolecular forces of attractionincrease.● Alkane molecules are frequentlyshown as having a flat two-dimensionalstructure because this is easy to draw,but in reality, the four bonds aroundeach carbon atom are directed towardthe corners of a tetrahedron.
Theangle between any two bonds is109.5°.● Alkanes are relatively unreactivesubstances when compared with othergroups of hydrocarbon s. Their mostimportant reaction is combustion, andthey are the main constituent of arange of fuels.

Each alkene molecule differsfrom the previous one in the series by-CH2- .● Alkene molecules are attracted to eachother by van der Waals forces. Asmolecular size increases, there is moreoverlap between the molecules, andthe intermolecular forces of attractionincrease. The series thus shows agradation of physical properties, suchas melting point and boiling point.● Alkenes all contain the samefu n ction al grou p, a carbon–carbondouble bond, represented by C=C.● The bonds around each of the carbonatoms in a carbon–carbon doublebond are in the same plane anddirected toward the corners of anequilateral triangle.
The angle betweenany two bonds is 120°.● Alkenes undergo combustion in thesame way as alkanes. However, theyhave other chemistry resulting fromthe reactive carbon–carbon doublebond.● Alkenes undergo addition reactions inwhich a molecule is added across thecarbon–carbon double bond.

The prefix “trans” isused when the substituent groups areon the opposite side.● In trans-1,2-dibromoethene thebromine atoms are on opposite sidesof a plane through the carbon–carbondouble bond.● In cis-1,2-dibromoethene the bromineatoms are on the same side.●© Diagram Visual Information Ltd.d2 StructureHH3 IsomerismHC CHBrHC CHEtheneBrHC CHTrans-1, 2-dibromoetheneBrBrCis-1, 2-dibromoethene4 ReactivityCH2 = CH2 + Cl 2CH2Cl—CH2ClReaction with chlorine to form 1, 2-dichloroethaneCH2 = CH2 + H2NiCH3CH3Reaction with hydrogen to form ethane4 Reactivity●The carbon–carbon double bond inethene is very reactive and willundergo various addition reactions.Ethene reacts with: halogen s (such aschlorine) to form 1,2-dihaloethane,hydrogen to form ethan e, andhydrogen halides to form haloethane.CH2 = CH2 + HXReaction with hydrogen halides to form haloethaneCH3CH2X159PolymersCHEMISTRY OF CARBONKey words1 Types of branchingadditionpolymerizationbakeliteetheneApolyethenepolymerpolymerizationBPolymers●Polymer with few branched chains,e.g., high-density polyetheneA polym er is a large organic moleculecomposed of repeating carbon chains.The physical properties of a polymerdepend on the nature of these carbonchains and how they are arranged.1 Types of branchingA certain amount of side branchingoccurs during polym erization ,depending on the reaction conditions.● Low pressure and low temperatureresults in a high-density polymer.● Very high pressure and moderatetemperatures produce a low-densitypolymer.● In high-density polymers, the carbonchains are unbranched, and they canbe packed closely together forming adense substance, e.g., high-densitypolyethen e (1A).● In low-density polymers, the carbonchains are branched, and it is notpossible to pack them as closelytogether, e.g., low-density polyethene(1B).● In polymers like bakelite, there arecross links between the carbon chains,producing a hard, rigid structure (1C).●CPolymer with many branched chains,e.g., low-density polyethenePolymer with much cross-linking,e.g., bakelite2 Additional polymerization (illustrating how ethene can berestructured to form poly(ethylene) i.e., polyethene)HHC CHHHC CHHHC CHHHH HH HH HC CC CC CH HH HH HH H H H H HC C C C C CH H H H H H2 Addition polymerizationEthen e forms a polymer by a processcalled addition polym erization .● In this process, one of the bonds fromthe carbon–carbon double bond isused to form a bond with an adjacentmolecule.

Thermoplastics soften whenheated and harden on cooling, so theycan be reshaped many times withoutchanging their chemical structure.Thermosets are chemically altered onheating and produce a permanentlyhard material that cannot be softenedby heating.● Method of polymerization. Additionpolymers are usually formed fromm on om ers containing a –CH=CH- unitto which different atoms or groups areattached.
