0Hydrocarbons are the compounds of carbon and hydrogen only. They are mainly obtained from petroleum, natural gas and coal, e.g. ethane, methane etc. Compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) are the first sources of energy for the automobile industry, and domestic fuel which is obtained from petroleum.
The entirety of this Chemistry Class 11 Chapter 13 Notes focuses on the Class 11 hydrocarbons revision materials. First off, “hydrocarbons” only refer to compounds made of hydrogen and carbon. Particularly, hydrocarbons are essential to our way of life.
Moreover, the fractional distillation of petroleum is how kerosene, diesel, and gasoline are produced. The same destructive distillation of coal is used to produce coal gas. All of these fuel types, which are energy sources, contain a mixture of hydrocarbons.
Aromatization, combustion, oxidation, and free radical substitution are some of the most significant alkenes reactions. Alkynes and alkenes also experience different reactions. The fact that these are addition reactions—primarily electrophilic additions—is particularly noteworthy. Despite being unsaturated, electrophilic substitution reactions occur most frequently with aromatic hydrocarbons.
