1) What is ethane? Where is it found?Answer: Ethane is the second member of alkane series. Its molecular formula is C₂H₆. It is found in petroleum mines.
2) What is homologous series?Answer: Homologous series is defined as a group of organic compounds having similar structures and similar chemical properties in which the successive compounds differ by CH₂ group.
3) Write general formula of alkene.Answer: The general formula of alkane is Câ‚™H₂â‚™.
4) What are acetylenes?Answer: Acetylenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons in which two carbon atoms are connected by a triple bond. H-C≡C-H
5) What are alkanes?Answer: An alkane is the hydrocarbon in which carbon atoms are connected by only single covalent bonds.
6) What is 'Catenation'?Answer: The property of carbon element due to which its atom can combine with one another to form long carbon chains is called catenation.
7) Define saturated hydrocarbon with any two examples.Answer: The hydrocarbon in which carbon atoms are combined with a single bond is called saturated hydrocarbon. For example: propane, pentane.
8) Define unsaturated hydrocarbon with any two examples.Answer: The hydrocarbon which contains a double bond or triple bond between any two carbon atoms is called unsaturated hydrocarbon. For example: ethene, propyne.
9) What are aliphatic hydrocarbons?Answer: Aliphatic hydrocarbons are the hydrocarbons containing carbon and hydrogen joined together in straight chains, branched chains or non-aromatic rings.
10) What is IUPAC name of methyl alcohol?Answer: The IUPAC name of methyl alcohol is methanol.
11) What is IUPAC name of ethyl alcohol?Answer: The IUPAC name of ethyl alcohol is ethanol.
12) Where is methane gas found in nature?Answer: Methane gas is found in petroleum mines, swamps and in bio-gas.
13) Write down the molecular formula of methane gas with its one property.Answer: The molecular formula of methane gas is CH₄. One property of methane: (i) It is a saturated and simplest hydrocarbon.
14) What are alkanes?Answer: An alkane is an unsaturated hydrocarbon in which the two carbon atoms are connected by a double bond.
15) Define 'isomers' and 'isomerism'.Answer: Isomers are defined as the organic compounds having the same molecular formula but different structures and properties. Isomerism is defined as the existence of two or more different organic compounds having the same molecular formula but different structures and properties.
16) What are 'alkynes'?Answer: Alkynes are unsaturated hydrocarbons in which two carbon atoms are connected by a triple bond.
17) Name the hydrocarbon which is used to make chloroform.Answer: Methane is the hydrocarbon which is used to make chloroform.
18) Name the simplest aliphatic hydrocarbon.Answer: Methane (CH₄) is the simplest aliphatic hydrocarbon.
19) Write the full form of IUPAC.Answer: The full form of IUPAC us International Union for Pure and Applied Chemistry.
20) What is propane? Where is it found?Answer: Propane (C₃H₈) is a colorless gas which is a saturated hydrocarbon. It is third member of alkane series. Propane is found in the petroleum mines.
