Hydrocarbon class 11

HYDROCARBON ALKENE

name of the chapter: Hydrocarbon

Content Provider: FIITJEE

Lecturer from FIITJEE

simple notes:

A compound of carbon and hydrogen is known as a hydrocarbon. A hydrocarbon is said to be saturated if it contains only C—C single bonds. Benzene and its derivatives are called aromatic compounds

introduction of NCERT:

The term ‘hydrocarbon’ is self-explanatory which means compounds of carbon and hydrogen only. Hydrocarbons play a key role in our daily life. You must be familiar with the terms ‘LPG’ and ‘CNG’ used as fuels. LPG is the abbreviated form of liquified petroleum gas whereas CNG stands for compressed natural gas. Another term ‘LNG’ (liquified natural gas) is also in news these days. This is also a fuel and is obtained by the liquefaction of natural gas. Petrol, diesel, and kerosene oil are obtained by the fractional distillation of petroleum found under the earth’s crust. Coal gas is obtained by the destructive distillation of coal. Natural gas is found in the upper strata during the drilling of oil wells. The gas after compression is known as compressed natural gas. LPG is used as a domestic fuel with the least pollution. Kerosene oil is also used as a domestic fuel but it causes some pollution. Automobiles need fuels like petrol, diesel, and CNG. Petrol and CNG-operated automobiles cause less pollution. All these fuels contain a mixture of hydrocarbons, which are sources of energy. Hydrocarbons are also used for the manufacture of polymers like polythene, polypropene, polystyrene, etc. Higher hydrocarbons are used as solvents for paints. They are also used as the starting materials for the manufacture of many dyes and drugs. Thus, you can well understand the importance of hydrocarbons in your daily life. In this unit, you will learn more about hydrocarbons.

Chemical Kinetics class 12

Chemical Kinetics name of the chapter: Chemical Kinetics Content Provider: FIITJEE Lecturer from FIITJEE Introduction based on NCERT: Chemistry, by its very nature, is concerned with change. Substances with well-defined properties are converted by chemical reactions into other substances with different properties. For any chemical reaction, chemists try to find out (a) the feasibility of a chemical reaction which can be predicted by thermodynamics ( as you know that a reaction with ΔG < 0, at constant temperature and pressure is feasible); (b) the extent to which a reaction will proceed can be determined from chemical equilibrium; (c) speed of a reaction i.e. time taken by a reaction to reach equilibrium. Along with feasibility and extent, it is equally important to know the rate and the factors controlling the rate of a chemical reaction for its complete understanding. For example, which parameters determine how rapidly food gets spoiled? How to design a rapid...

Chemical bonding class 11 Inorganic notes

Chemical bonding name of the chapter: chemical bonding Content Provider: FIITJEE Lecturer from FIITJEE Introduction based on NCERT books: The matter is made up of one or different types of elements. Under normal conditions, no other element exists as an independent atom in nature, except noble gases. However, a group of atoms is found to exist together as one species having characteristic properties. Such a group of atoms is called a molecule. Obviously, there must be some force that holds these constituent atoms together in the molecules. The attractive force which holds various constituents (atoms, ions, etc.) together in different chemical species is called a chemical bond. Since the formation of chemical compounds takes place as a result of the combination of atoms of various elements in different ways, it raises many questions. Why do atoms combine? Why are only certain combinations possible? Why do some atoms combine while certain o...

Purification Characterisation of Organic Compounds class 11

Purification Characterisation of Organic Compounds name of the chapter: Purification Characterisation of Organic Compounds Content Provider: FIITJEE Lecturer from FIITJEE simple notes: Organic compounds extracted from a natural source or synthesized in the laboratory require purification. Various methods are used for purification and are based on the nature of the compound and the impurity present in it. The purity of a compound is ascertained by determining its melting point or boiling point or by chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques. Fraction distillation can be defined as a process where the separation of a mixture takes place. A mixture of various components such as chemical components can be easily vaporized by heating them to a temperature more than their boiling point and forming different fractions. embedded pdf:
