1. DRAW THE STRUCTURAL FORMULA OF THE FOLLOWING
HYDROCARBON:
1. Nonyne
2. Heptene
3. Pentyne
4. Decene
5. Butane
6. Hexene
2. What is meant by saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbon?
As explicated in the module, saturated hydrocarbon is one in which all
of the atoms are connected by a single bond. Saturated hydrocarbons
are also called alkanes because they contain the maximum number of
hydrogen atoms per carbon. In contrast, Unsaturated hydrocarbons are
compounds that contain fewer than the maximum number of hydrogen
atoms per carbon. Unsaturated hydrocarbons also have double or triple
bonds and are quite reactive, alkenes and alkynes are called
unsaturated hydrocarbons.
3. Compare and contrast; Alkanes, Alkenes, and Alkynes?
Highlighted and explained in the reference, Alkanes are hydrocarbons
having only C-C and C-H single bonds. Alkanes are open-chain
hydrocarbons with single covalent bonds between carbon atoms with a
general formula CnH2n+2. In naming alkanes, the suffix is always
“ane”. The prefix is depending on how many carbons are present.
Meanwhile, Alkenes are compounds that contain a carbon-carbon
double bond. The general molecular formula of an alkene is CnH2n, so
an alkene has two fewer hydrogens than an acyclic alkane, ethylene
(C2H4) is the simplest alkene. Alkene also is an unsaturated
hydrocarbon with two carbon atoms connected by a double bond. On
the other hand, Alkynes are open-chain hydrocarbons with single
covalent bonds between carbon atoms with a general formula CnH2n-
2. An alkyne is identified by the suffix -yne. Alkyne is a saturated
hydrocarbon with two carbon atoms connected by a triple bond.

HYDROCARBONS USES
__G__1. Methane A. It is used in the formulation of
glues for shoes, leather products,
and roofing.
__C__2. Propane B. Also used as a solvent,
distillation chaser, fuel additive,
and a component in
biodegradable detergent.
__A__3. Butane C. Used as a domestic and
industrial fuel and is the primary
fuel for hot air balloons. it is also
used in theme parks and in
movies for explosion and special
effects.
__D__4. Pentane D. Used in camping stoves. And
also used in aerosol spray cans.
__H__5. Hexane E. Also known as acetylene
__J__6. Octane F. is produced from natural gas and
crude oil by cracking. It is used
as feedstock for many chemical
products such as polyethylene,
vinyl chloride, styrene, ethanol,
acetaldehyde, and many more.
__F__7. Ethene G. It is used as a fuel for homes,
ovens, water heaters, kilns and
automobiles as it combusts with
oxygen to produce heat. And
also used for electricity
generation.
__E__8. Ethyne H. also used as a solvent, distillation
chaser, fuel additive, and a
component in biodegradable
detergent.
