COMPARISION OF HYDROCARBON PROPERTIES functional group formula C-C bond length hybridization average bond energy* reactivity n=2 boiling point alkanes CnH2n+2 15 nm sp3 368 kJ low -88 oC alkenes CnH2n 13 sp2 305 high -103 alkynes CnH2n-2 12 sp 273 YIKES -82 Alkanes + ozone no reaction Alkenes + ozone BOOM Alkynes + ozone BOOM FYI…acetylene is the second most easily detonated gas known (right after H2)
Alkynes get around….. =1,3,5,7-tetranonyne found out here…
