- 1Hydrocarbons-Contain hydrogen and carbon only
-Carbon atoms can make 4 bonds each
-Hydrogen atoms can make one bond each - 2Alkanes-Single covalent bonds only
- The name of an alkane always ends in
--ane e.g - methANE - 3Alkenes-one carbon=carbon double bond
-A double bond contains 2 pairs of shared electrons
-Always ends in --ene
e.g - ethENE
-They react with bromine water (orange) and decolourizes it (colourless) - 4Saturated and Unsaturated HydrocarbonsAlkanes are saturated
