Basic principles [edit] In chemistry‚ a number of prefixes‚ suffixes and infixes are used to describe the type and position of functional groups in the compound. The steps to naming an organic compound are: 1. Identification of the parent hydrocarbon chain. This chain must obey the following rules‚ in order of precedence: 1. It should have the maximum number of substituents of the suffix functional group. By suffix‚ it is meant that the parent functional group should have a suffix

carbon 1. Structural isomers: It is when a molecule has the same molecular formula (eg. C6H12O6) but looks different and can be drawn in different ways. PROPERTIES: Alkanes: * Formula CnH2n+2 * Saturated (no double or triple bonds) hydrocarbons – a good way to remember this: saturated in hydrogens * Melting and boiling points low but will increase as molecule gets bigger (the intermolecular bonds are strengthened) * Insoluble in water – non-polar because the C-H bond is non-polar

CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Pollution is one of the main problems the world faces today. One of the reasons is the overload of non-biodegradable objects like plastics‚ cans and Styrofoam. The invention of plastics and Styrofoam made a huge change in our society and it helped us in many ways. But it is also one of the main pollutants that destroy our planet. Because of these we devised a way to recycle used Styrofoam‚ and this is to make glue out of it. This glue can help reduce the number of Styrofoam

However‚ the problem is how to mine it. Foreign investors are usually allowed by government to explore prospect sites. For example‚ one latest findings of reservoir sands and hydrocarbon at Dabakan in Mapun island‚ Tawi-Tawi in southern Philippines by the Exxon Mobil Corp.‚ is now in progress. This discovery of hydrocarbons considered to occur naturally in unprocessed petroleum has prompted the company to invest another $100 million for the drilling of another well‚ news reports says.Significant

Conventional gas is easily extracted‚ unconventional gas requires sophisticated extraction technologies. 3. Oil Oil is mostly known as crude oil or condensate but include all liquid hydrocarbon fossil fuels. Petroleum and liquefied petroleum gas are the most common types of fuel obtained from oil extraction

consumers still consider other alternative energy sources for use in order to reduce energy expenses. Users particularly in low income households continue to use a variety of other energy sources. Other sources include solar energy‚ wind energy‚ hydrocarbon fuels wood‚ coal and paraffin and own power generation using generators. GRID ELECTRICITY Grid electricity from Eskom is the most common source of energy for household consumers in South Africa and in 1997 it provided around 66% of the overall

Experimenting with a Candle Justin Nguyen Mrs. Howley 11/16/11 Mod F Purpose: the purpose is to learn how the process of a candle burning. The goals of this experiment are to practice in the art of observation‚ the art of questioning‚ and the development of a better understanding of this process. Hypothesis: through this experiment‚ we will learn how candle is working. Materials: * Candle * Note card * Matches or butane lighter * Aluminum foil * 1L beaker * Balance

I. INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study Today‚ candles are made not only for lighting purposes but for many other uses such as home décor‚ novelty collections‚ as fixtures for big occasions (weddings‚ baptismals‚ etc.)‚ and as scented varieties for aromatherapy. Candles are made from different types of waxes and oils. Cooking oil is a major kitchen item in Filipino households. It is also used substantially in fast-food outlets‚ where it is used in different stages of food preparations
