Compounds in which each member differs from the one before it by the same additional unit are called a homologous series. Ex: methane, ethane, propane, etc.
Ex. What is the molecular formula for the alkane that has 8 carbon atoms?alkane formula: CnH2n+2
B. The alkenes are a homologous series of unsaturated (not all single bonds) hydrocarbons that contain one double bond.
There must be at least 2 carbon atoms to form an alkene. The simplest member isethene (also known as ethylene and olefin).
ethene: structuralformula:
Other views:
C2H4
Ethene is the chemical that causes fruits to ripen.
They produce it naturally or it can be artificially applied.
Many geologists and scholars believe that the famous Greek Oracle at Delphi went into her trance-like state as an effect of ethylene rising from ground faults.
In carbon-14 dating, the object to be datedhas carbon C. It is allowed to come intocontact with lithium metal to form lithiumcarbide.
LiC2 + 2H2O → 2CaOH + C2H2

The next alkynes are: butyne, pentyne, etc.Alkynes are named using the same prefixes that are used for alkanes and alkenes.
The general formula for alkynes is:
CnH2n-2
Ex. What are the name and general formula for the alkyne that has seven carbon atoms?
heptyne
misprint!!!
Ex. Name and give the molecular formula of the…
…alkane with 6 carbon atoms:
…alkene with 10 carbon atoms:
…alkyne with 7 carbon atoms:
hexane
decene
heptyne
In sum:
C6H14
C10H20
C7H12
D. The examples so far are _______ hydrocarbons.
Other types include ________ hydrocarbons. Two
examples of these are shown here:
_______ hexane A _________ “ring”

Hydrocarbons with __________ single & double bonds
are called _______. Benzine itself is a colorless, highly
flammable liquid found in _______. It is ____________.
It is used to make solvents, dyes, and ____________.
cyclo benzene

cyclic
alternating
aromaticscrude oil carcinogenic
polymers
Steroids – 3 cyclohexanes and 1 cyclopentane fused together
Examples: Cholesterol the sex hormones estradiol and testosterone, and the anti-inflammatory drug dexamethasone, as well ashundreds of others found inplants, animals and fungi.They differ from each other by the functional groups attached to this four ring core and by the oxidation state of the rings.
