Hydrocarbon types — categories?
Alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, aromatic.
Hydrocarbons — definition?
Organic compounds of hydrogen and carbon.
Alkanes vs alkenes — difference?
Alkanes are saturated; alkenes are unsaturated with double bonds.
Alkanes — bonds?
Only single bonds (saturated).
Aromatic hydrocarbons — stability?
Stabilized by resonance delocalization of π-electrons.
Alkenes — bonds?
At least one C=C double bond.
Alkynes — bonds?
At least one C≡C triple bond.
Aromatic hydrocarbons — feature?
Contain benzene rings with resonance.
Hydrocarbon reactivity — influenced by?
Type of bonds (single, double, triple).
Isomer types?
Structural and geometric isomers.
