1
New cards

Polarity

Nonpolar (due to nonpolar C–C and C–H bonds)

2
New cards

Intermolecular Forces

Weak dispersion forces only

3
New cards

Solubility

Immiscible in water and hydrophobic ("water-fearing").


4
New cards

Boiling Points

Lower boiling points than polar molecules of similar mass; boiling points increase with chain length/surface area

5
New cards

Saturated Hydrocarbons

Alkanes (Cn H2n+2); contain maximum hydrogens per carbon with single bonds only.

6
New cards

Unsaturated Hydrocarbons

Alkenes, Alkynes, and Aromatics; contain double or triple bonds and fewer than 2n+2 hydrogens

7
New cards

Rule

 Each double bond or ring reduces hydrogen count by 2; each triple bond reduces hydrogen count by 4
