Document Summary

How to: convert planar cyclohexanes to chair cyclohexanes. Hydrocarbon - is a compound composed of only carbon and hydrogen. Alkanes - saturated hydrocarbons, often referred to aliphatic hydrocarbons. Saturated hydrocarbons - they contain only carbon-carbon single bonds. Saturated - means that each carbon has the maximum number of hydrogens bonded to it. Unsaturated hydrocarbon - a hydrocarbon that contains one or more carbon-carbon double bonds, triple bonds, or benzene rings. Four bonds about each carbon are still arranged in a tetrahedral manner and all bond angles are approximately 109. 5. The next three alkanes are propane, butane, and pentane. In the following representations, these hydrocarbons are drawn first as condensed structural formulas that show all carbons and hydrogens. They are also drawn in an even more abbreviated form called a line-angle formula. In a line-angle formula, each vertex and line ending represents a carbon atom.
