Hydrocarbon Rings Hydrocarbons From Earth’s Crust Chapter 22.4-22.5 Hydrocarbon Rings Hydrocarbons From Earth’s Crust

Beta-carotene is an important nutrient in carrots that also gives carrots their orange color. The hydrocarbon skeleton of beta- carotene contains hydrocarbon rings. You will learn about hydrocarbon rings and the properties of compounds formed from these rings. 1) Hydrocarbon Rings

Within some hydrocarbons… they contain a chain of carbons that have formed a ring. Cyclic Hydrocarbons: hydrocarbons that contain a hydrocarbon ring. Predict how a hydrocarbon could form a ring…. Say butane or pentane…. Hydrocarbon Rings

Three Ways to Represent Cyclic Hydrocarbons

Cyclic Hydrocarbons The simplest is a 3 ring hydrocarbon. Rings containing up to 20 carbon atoms are found in nature. The most abundant are rings that contain 5 or 6 carbons. Cyclic Hydrocarbons

These compounds are responsible for the aromas of spices such as vanilla, clove, cinnamon, and ginger. They are named this because of the pleasant aromas they give off NOT ALL aromatic compounds have an aroma. Though. Aromatic Compounds

Any compound that contains a benzene ring is an aromatic compound. Benzene Basic Structure: In a benzene molecule, the bonding electrons between carbon atoms are shared evenly around the ring. Aromatic Compound

What is different about these two benzenes? Benzene can be shown as switching, or resonating, between two arrangements of alternating double and single bonds.

If there are two (or more) equally valid structures for a molecule, resonance occurs. Benzene and other molecules that have resonance are VERY stable. More stable than molecules that do not have resonance. Show the resonance of Benzene… Resonance

Substituted Aromatic Compounds Compounds with a substituent on a benzene ring are named as a derivative of benzene. When benzene is a substituent, it is called a phenyl group. Substituted Aromatic Compounds

The molecules of many dyes include benzene rings. Aromatic Compounds

2) Hydrocarbons from Earth’s Crust 1) Natural Gas 2) Petroleum 3) Coal 2) Hydrocarbons from Earth’s Crust

Natural gas is an important source of alkanes and aliphatic carbons of low molar mass. Aliphatic Carbons contain no benzene rings. The most important component of natural gas, methane, burns with a clean, hot flame. Other common: propane and butane (grills and lighters) 1) Natural Gas

More complex hydrocarbons found in petroleum than in natural gas. It contains MANY types that need to be separated for it to be useful. We can refine it by distilling it into fractions according to the boiling points of the hydrocarbons. (See next slide) Next, we use cracking where hydrocarbons are broken down…. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xsqlv4rWnEg 2)Petroleum

2) Petroleum

3) Coal Lignite ~50% carbon Bituminous 70–80% carbon Coal is classified by its carbon content and hardness. Hardness of coal tends to increase with higher carbon content. Lignite ~50% carbon Bituminous 70–80% carbon Anthracite >80% carbon

Coal consists largely of condensed aromatic compounds of extremely high molar mass.
