Chemistry Revision Notes
1.1
What are Alkanes? The Molecular Structure and Nomenclature of Alkanes
(Also includes an introduction on
how to write and display alkane formulae including isomers)
(Also
functions as a general introduction to organic structure before using and looking at functional groups and homologous
series)
The chain isomerism of alkanes is fully
described on another page, including any differences in physical properties
like boiling point.
AND important
notes on how to deduce empirical and molecular formula including
alkane examples
Calculation of empirical formula,
deducing molecular formula of a compound starting with % mass
composition)
ALSO quizzes involving alkanes
Combined multiple choice and type in name quiz on the structure and
naming of alkanes
Matching pair quiz on hydrocarbon structure
Do 3rd quiz combing naming quiz with a
3rd database of alkane chemistry questions?
1.2
Sources of alkanes, the boiling points of alkanes and
fractional distillation of crude
oil into useful products
(Includes links to GCSE notes
(which must be read too) and extra A level
notes on intermolecular bonding forces)
1.3
Modification of alkanes by
cracking, isomerisation and reforming
(Includes links to GCSE notes
(which must be read too) and extra A level
notes explaining the processes and reasons for the modifications to crude
oil fractions)
1.4
Complete and incomplete
combustion of alkanes and environmental pollution
(Includes links to GCSE notes
(which must be read too) and extra A
level notes on enthalpy calculations and trends and pollution)
1.5
Modification of hydrocarbon fuel
mixtures, global warming-climate change and alternative fuels
(Includes links to
GCSE notes on e.g. global warming, biodiesel, hydrogen,
bioethanol etc.)
1.6
Chlorination and bromination of
alkanes, reaction mechanisms and uses of products
(The reaction of alkanes with halogens,
diversity and uses of products and reaction mechanisms)
