Q1: What are hydrocarbons? Classify them with examples and properties.

Hydrocarbons: Organic compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen atoms. Formula: CnHm Classification 1: Based on Saturation 1. Saturated Hydrocarbons (Alkanes) - General formula: CnH(2n+2) - Only single bonds between carbons - Non-polar, hydrophobic - Low reactivity, combustible ...

Q2: Explain cracking of hydrocarbons. What is the difference between thermal and catalytic cracking?

Cracking: Process of breaking C-C bonds in long-chain hydrocarbons to produce shorter-chain hydrocarbons. Conditions: - Temperature: 400-900°C - Purpose: Convert heavy fractions into lighter, more useful products - Products: Alkanes (LPG, petrol) + Alkenes (ethene, propene) Thermal Cracking: - Tem...

Q3: What are aromatic hydrocarbons? Explain structure and aromaticity of benzene (C6H6).

Aromatic Hydrocarbons: Cyclic, unsaturated hydrocarbons with special stability and properties. Benzene (C6H6): Most common aromatic hydrocarbon Structure: - 6 carbon atoms in hexagonal ring - Each C bonded to 1 H atom - Each C undergoes sp2 hybridization - Three unhybridized p-orbitals on each C -...
