16-How does the presence of a functional group affect the naming of alkenes?
Here are complete answers to all the questions:
Alkenes:
Define Alkenes:
1-Alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons that contain at least one carbon-carbon double bond (C=C) in their molecular structure. They are characterized by a linear, unbranched chain of carbon atoms.
2-What distinguishes alkenes from alkanes in terms of carbon-carbon bonds?
Alkenes have at least one carbon-carbon double bond (C=C), whereas alkanes have only single bonds (C-C) between carbon atoms.
3-State the general formula for alkenes and provide an example.
The general formula for alkenes is CnH2n.
An example is ethene (C2H4).
4-Explain the reactivity of alkenes.
The reactivity of alkenes is due to the presence of a carbon-carbon double bond (C=C). The pi bond is relatively weak, making it easily breakable and leading to chemical reactivity.
IUPAC Nomenclature:
5-Briefly describe the IUPAC rules for naming alkenes.
The IUPAC rules for naming alkenes involve finding the longest continuous carbon chain containing the double bond, numbering carbons, naming substituents, and using the suffix “-ene” to indicate the presence of a double bond.
6-Provide the IUPAC name for the compound CH3CH=CHCH2CH3.
The IUPAC name for this compound is 4-ethylhex-1-ene.
7-What does the suffix “-ene” signify in the IUPAC name of alkenes?
The suffix “-ene” indicates the presence of a carbon-carbon double bond in the IUPAC name of alkenes.
Alkynes:
Define Alkynes:
8-Alkynes are unsaturated hydrocarbons that contain at least one carbon-carbon triple bond (C≡C) in their molecular structure.
9-Differentiate between alkenes and alkynes based on their carbon-carbon bonds.
Alkenes have carbon-carbon double bonds (C=C), while alkynes have at least one carbon-carbon triple bond (C≡C).
10-Give an example of an alkyne and its IUPAC name.
Example: Ethyne (C2H2), IUPAC name: 2-butyne.
Isomerism:
11-Explain isomerism in the context of hydrocarbons.
Isomerism refers to different structural arrangements of atoms in a molecule that result in the same molecular formula but have distinct chemical and physical properties.
12-For a hydrocarbon with a molar mass of 58 g/mol containing 44 g of carbon, write its molecular formula.
The molecular formula for this hydrocarbon is C4H6.
Applications:
13-Name one industrial application of unsaturated open chain hydrocarbons.
One industrial application is the production of polymers and plastics.
14-Provide an example of an unsaturated hydrocarbon commonly used in the production of plastics.
Ethene (C2H4) is commonly used in the production of plastics.
Bonus:
15-What is the primary factor that determines the parent chain in IUPAC nomenclature?
The longest continuous carbon chain determines the parent chain in IUPAC nomenclature.
16-How does the presence of a functional group affect the naming of alkenes?
If there is a functional group present, the double bond takes precedence in determining the parent chain, and the functional group is named as a substituent.
