Hydrocarbons Class 11 Notes Chemistry Chapter 9


  • Compounds of carbon and hydrogen.
  • Classification of Hydrocarbons:
    Hydrocarbons Class 11 Notes Chemistry Chapter 9

Alkane

  • Open chain saturated hydrocarbon with general formula (CnH2n+2). 
  • All the C atoms are single bonded i.e. sp3 hybridised.

Conformations of Alkane

  • Conformations are the different arrangement of atoms that can be converted into one another by rotation about single bonds. 
  • Eclipsed Conformation: H atoms on two adjacent carbon atoms are closest to each other i.e. dihedral angle is 0.
    Hydrocarbons Class 11 Notes Chemistry Chapter 9
  • Staggered Conformation: H atoms on two adjacent carbon atoms are farthest to each other i.e. dihedral angle is 60.
    Hydrocarbons Class 11 Notes Chemistry Chapter 9

Preparation of Alkanes:

  • Reduction of Alkyl Halides:
    RX + Zn: + H+  → RH + Zn2+ + X-
    4RX + LiAlH4    → 4RH + LiX + AlX3 (X≠ F)                    
    RX + (n - C4H9)3 SnH  → R-H + (n - C4H9)3 SnX
  • Grignard Reagent:

  • Hydrogenation of Alkenes:
    Hydrocarbons Class 11 Notes Chemistry Chapter 9
  • Wurtz Reaction:
    2RX  + 2Na  → R-R + 2NaX
    2Na + 2CH3CH2CH2Cl  →  CH3CH2CH2CH2-CH2CH3 + 2NaCl
  • Corey House Reaction:

  • Decarboxylation of a mixture of the sodium salt of a carboxylic acid:
    RCOONa +NaOH(CaO) → RH +  Na2CO3
  •  Kolbe's electrolytic method:
    2 RCOOK + 2H2O → R-R + 2CO2 + H2+ 2KOH

    c. Termination Step 
    Cl + Cl →Cl-Cl
    H3C + H3C → H3C-CH3
    Cl + H3C → Cl-CH3
  • Nitration 
    Nitration of alkane is made by heating vapours of alkanes and HNOat about 400oC to give nitroalkanes.
    This is also known as vapour phase nitration.
    Hydrocarbons Class 11 Notes Chemistry Chapter 9
  • Combustion:
    Alkanes burn readily with non luminous flame in presence of air or oxygen to give CO2 & water along with evolution of heat.
    C2H6 + 7O→ CO2 +6H2O + heat
  • Aromatization
    Alkanes having six to 10 carbon atoms are converted into benzene and its homologues at high pressure and temperature in presence of catalyst.
    Hydrocarbons Class 11 Notes Chemistry Chapter 9
  • Oxidization of 30 alkane:
    Tertiary alkanes are oxidized to tertiary alcohols by KMnO4

Alkene (olefins)

  • Open chain, Unsaturated hydrocarbons with general formula (CnH2n).
  • At least one  >c=c<  (double bond) group i.e. sp2 hybridisation, is present throughout the chain.
  • Allene: alkene molecule in which at least one C has double bonds with each of the adjacent carbon i.e. -c=c=c- group. 
  • Isomeric with saturated cycloalkanes.

FAQs on Hydrocarbons Class 11 Notes Chemistry Chapter 9

1. What are hydrocarbons?
Ans. Hydrocarbons are organic compounds made up of hydrogen and carbon atoms. They are the simplest form of organic compounds and can be found in various forms, such as methane, ethane, propane, and butane. Hydrocarbons are the main components of fossil fuels and are widely used as fuels and raw materials in various industries.
2. How are hydrocarbons classified?
Ans. Hydrocarbons are classified into two main types: aliphatic hydrocarbons and aromatic hydrocarbons. Aliphatic hydrocarbons are further divided into alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes based on the type of carbon-carbon bonds present. Aromatic hydrocarbons contain a benzene ring structure and are known for their distinct aroma.
3. What are the common uses of hydrocarbons?
Ans. Hydrocarbons have numerous uses in our daily lives. They are primarily used as fuels for transportation, heating, and electricity generation. Hydrocarbons are also used as raw materials in the production of plastics, synthetic fibers, detergents, lubricants, and various chemicals. Additionally, they are used in the manufacturing of pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.
4. How are hydrocarbons extracted from the Earth?
Ans. Hydrocarbons are extracted from the Earth through a process called drilling. Oil and gas wells are drilled into underground reservoirs where hydrocarbons are trapped. Once the well reaches the reservoir, the hydrocarbons flow to the surface under natural pressure or with the help of pumps. The extracted hydrocarbons are then processed and refined for various uses.
5. Are hydrocarbons harmful to the environment?
Ans. While hydrocarbons have many beneficial uses, their combustion releases carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, contributing to climate change. Additionally, the extraction, transportation, and refining of hydrocarbons can have negative environmental impacts, such as oil spills, air pollution, and habitat destruction. Therefore, it is important to develop sustainable alternatives and reduce our dependence on hydrocarbons to mitigate these environmental concerns.
