2. 1 Classes of Hydrocarbons
Hydrocarbons Aliphatic Aromatic
Hydrocarbons Aliphatic Alkanes Aromatic Alkenes Alkynes
Hydrocarbons Aliphatic Alkanes are hydrocarbons in which all of the bonds are single bonds. H H H C C H H H
Hydrocarbons Aliphatic Alkenes are hydrocarbons that contain a carbon double bond. H H C Alkenes H C H
Hydrocarbons Aliphatic Alkynes are hydrocarbons that contain a carbon triple bond. Alkynes HC CH
Hydrocarbons The most common aromatic hydrocarbons are those that contain a benzene ring. Aromatic H H H
2. 2 Reactive Sites in Hydrocarbons
Functional Group a structural unit in a molecule responsible for its characteristic behavior under a particular set of reaction conditions
Alkanes R—H R—X functional group is a hydrogen reaction that takes place is substitution one of the hydrogens is replaced by some other atom or group
Alkanes R—H R—X functional group is a hydrogen reaction that takes place is substitution H H H C C H H one of the hydrogens is replaced by some other atom or group H H H + Cl 2 H C C H H Cl + HCl

How many isomers? The number of isomeric alkanes increases as the number of carbons increase. There is no simple way to predict how many isomers there are for a particular molecular formula.
