Hydrocarbons are the simplest organic compounds consisting of carbon and hydrogen atoms. This video explores the structure and properties of alkanes, alkenes and alkynes.

Syllabus
Students:
● construct models, identify the functional group, and write structural and molecular formulae for homologous series of organic chemical compounds, up to C8 (ACSCH035):
– alkanes
– alkenes
– alkynes
● conduct an investigation to compare the properties of organic chemical compounds within a homologous series, and explain these differences in terms of bonding (ACSCH035)
● analyse the shape of molecules formed between carbon atoms when a single, double or triple bond is formed between them
● explain the properties within and between the homologous series of alkanes with reference to the intermolecular and intramolecular bonding present
