Key Stage 4

Meaning

A hydrocarbon is a chemical compound containing only carbon and hydrogen atoms.

About Hydrocarbons

Carbon atoms are able to form long chain molecules so there are very large number of hydrocarbon molecules.

Hydrocarbons can be split into two groups:

Alkanes - Which have only single bonds between Carbon atoms.
Alkenes - Which have one or more double bonds between Carbon atoms.

Small hydrocarbon molecules are given names based on the number of Carbon atoms they contain:

Meth - 1 Carbon (Methane)
Eth - 2 Carbon (Ethane and Ethene)
Prop - 3 Carbon (Propane and Propene)
But - 4 Carbon (Butane and Butene)
Pent - 5 Carbon (Pentane and Pentene)
Hex - 6 Carbon (Hexane and Hexene)

Crude Oil is a mixture of hundreds of different hydrocarbon molecules.
