5 specific examples and uses of cycloalkanes; alkenes; alkynes; aromatic compounds; and alkylhalides?

Question

i keep on searching the net, still i cant find the specific examples and uses,

please help me, my grades in other subject are good except chemistry so im begging you.............

Answer 1

This site is not set up to depict chemical structures easily...will give you the general idea, and you can look up a better picture of the molecule.

One CYCLOALKANE is cyclohexane (CH2)6, used as a solvent...picture a hexagon having -CH2- at each apex.

The simpest ALKENE is ethylene CH2=CH2, which is polymerized into the common polymer polyethylene.  Another is butadiene CH2=CHCH=CH2, used in making synthetic rubber.

The simplest ALKYNE is acetylene CH:::CH (triple bond between carbons), used in oxyacetylene torches.

AROMATIC COMPOUNDS contain the benzene ring (CH)6...picture a hexagon having CH at each apex and alternating double bonds between carbons.  Replace one H with CH3 and you get toluene.  Both are used as solvents and in synthesizing other chemicals. Replace one H with NH2 and you get aniline, used in synthesizing dyes and other chemicals.

Chloroform CHCl3 is an ALKYLHALIDE, used as an anesthetic, solvent and chemical intermediate...but is not used much anymore due to its toxicity .

These are just a few of possibly millions of examples...hope they are of some help to you.
