Unit  - Hydrocarbons
Organic chemistry is the chemistry of carbon. The name 
“organic” reflect the fact that organic molecules are 
derived from living organisms. In this unit will start by 
looking at four families of organic molecules that are 
grouped together as the hydrocarbons. We will also look 
at some functional groups that define some of the other 
families of organic molecules.

Hydrocarbons
• Organic molecules contain carbon combined with other 
elements.
• Organic molecules are grouped into families
• Members of a family share common structural, physical, and chemical 
characteristics.
• There are four families that contain molecules made of only 
carbon and hydrogen.
• Hydrocarbons
• Alkanes
• Alkenes
• Alkynes
• Aromatics
