Hydrocarbons

construct models, identify the functional group, and write structural and molecular formulae for homologous series of organic chemical compounds, up to C8:

• • 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

• WS: Graphing 

analyse the shape of molecules formed between carbon atoms when a single, double or triple bond is formed between them

• WS: Hydrocarbon VSEPR Models

explain the properties within and between the homologous series of alkanes with reference to the intermolecular and intramolecular bonding present

• WS: Properties of Alkanes

• WS: Inter/intramolecular forces

describe the procedures required to safely handle and dispose of organic substances

examine the environmental, economic and sociocultural implications of obtaining and using hydrocarbons from the Earth
