1
New cards

Alkenes

are unsaturated hydrocarbons with carbon- carbon double bonds (C= C)

2
New cards

chain length

As carbon increases the colour of the liquid gets darker as it gets thicker and more viscous.

3
New cards

Kerosene

and diesel oil are often cracked to produce petrol, other alkenes and hydrogen.

4
New cards

similar properties

The molecules in each fraction have and boiling points, which depend on the number of carbon atoms in the chain.

5
New cards

lubricants

Lubricating oil: for , polishes, waxes.

6
New cards

Fractional distillation

is carried out in a fractionating column.

7
New cards

Alkanes

are a group of saturated hydrocarbons.

8
New cards

Gradation

in their physical properties, such as melting and boiling point.

9
New cards

Naphtha

: raw product for producing chemicals.

10
New cards

black liquid

It is a thick, sticky, that is found under porous rock (under the ground and under the sea)

11
New cards

Volatility

refers to the tendency of a substance to vaporise.

12
New cards

Hydrogen

and a higher proportion of alkenes are formed at higher temperatures and higher pressure.

13
New cards

Hydrocarbons

are made from hydrogen and carbon atoms only.

14
New cards

smaller alkanes

The molecules are broken up in a random way which produces a mixture of and alkenes.

15
New cards

chemical properties

This is a series or family of organic compounds that have similar features and due to them having the same functional group.

16
New cards

Petroleum

is also called crude oil and is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons which also contains natural gas.

17
New cards

natural gas

Most common fossil fuels include coal, and hydrocarbons such as methane and propane which are obtained from crude oil.

18
New cards

Structural isomers

are compounds that have the same molecular formula but different structural formulae.

19
New cards

fuel

A(n) is a substance which when burned, releases heat energy.

20
New cards

Organic chemistry

is the chemistry of carbon compounds.

21
New cards

C C

The presence of the double bond, , means they can make more bonds with other atoms by opening up the bond and allowing incoming atoms to form another single bond with each carbon atom of the functional group.

22
New cards

names of organic compounds

The have two parts: the prefix (or stem) and the end part (or suffix)

23
New cards

Methane

is an alkane and is the major component of natural gas.

24
New cards

Organic compounds

can be represented in a number of ways.

25
New cards

High viscosity liquids

are thick and flow less easily.

26
New cards

catalytic cracking

A process called is used to convert longer- chain molecules into short- chain and more useful hydrocarbons.

27
New cards

colourless compounds

They are which have a gradual change in their physical properties as the number of carbon atoms in the chain increases.

28
New cards

molecular mass

The liquid flows less easily with increasing .

29
New cards

Organic molecules

are classified by the dominant functional group on the molecule.

30
New cards

homologous series

The functional group is a group of atoms which are bonded in a specific arrangement that is responsible for the characteristic reactions of each member of a(n) .

31
New cards

Kerosene

: for making jet fuel (paraffin)

32
New cards

fractional distillation

The fractions in petroleum are separated from each other in a process called .

33
New cards

Petroleum

itself as a mixture isn't very useful but each component part of the mixture, called a fraction, is useful and each fraction has different applications.

34
New cards

Alkanes

are generally unreactive compounds but they do undergo combustion reactions, can be cracked into smaller molecules and can react with halogens in the presence of light.

35
New cards

Alkenes

can be used to make polymers and the hydrogen used to make ammonia.

38
New cards

The names of organic compounds have two parts

the prefix (or stem) and the end part (or suffix)

39
New cards

Cracking involves heating the hydrocarbon molecules to around 600

700°C to vaporise them

40
New cards

Refinery gas

heating and cooking

41
New cards

Gasoline

fuel for cars (petrol)

42
New cards

Naphtha

43
New cards

Kerosene

for making jet fuel (paraffin)

44
New cards

Diesel

fuel for diesel engines (gas oil)

45
New cards

Fuel oil

fuel for ships and for home heating

46
New cards

Lubricating oil

for lubricants, polishes, waxes

47
New cards

Bitumen

for surfacing roads

48
New cards

There are two types
