Classification of
Hydrocarbons
1. Aliphatic
Hydrocarbons
1.1 Straight Chain
Hydrocarbons
A. Alkanes
- Single bonds, C – C
- Also lnown as Saturated
Hydrocarbons or
Paraffins
-Names end in –ane
-Formula, CnH2n+2
-Homologous series:
Methane Series
B. Alkenes
- characterized by double
bonds, C = C
- also known as Olefins
- Names end in –ene
- Formula, CnH2n
- Homologous series:
Ethene Series
C. Alkynes
- characterized by triple
bonds, C = C
- Unsaturated
hydrocarbons
- Names end in –yne
- Formula, CnH2n-2
- Homologous series:
Ethyne Series
Substituents
- groups that
substitute H in
the
HC chain.
Alkyl groups as
Substituents:
- Substituents that
are
derived from
alkanes
where one hydrogen

groups, drop –ane
from alkane and
replace with -yl
