    • Renewable energy
      • Solar
      • Wind
      • Water
        • Tidal
        • Hydroelectric
    • Non-renewable energy sources will eventually run out; are being used faster than being replenished.

    • Hydrocarbons
      • Hydrogen
      • Carbon
      • ALKANES
        • Methane
          • 1 Carbon
          • 4 Hydrogen
        • Ethane
          • 2 Carbons
          • 6 Hydrogen
        • CnH2n+2
        • Propene
          • 3 Carbons
          • 8 Carbons
        • Butane
          • 4 Carbons
          • 10 Hydrogen
        • MenEatProperButter - acronym for order of alkanes
        • Saturated
          • No space for anymore molecules
      • Long chains
        • Thick; viscous
        • Less Volatile
          • High B.P
            • More Covalent Bonds
              • More intermolecular forces
                • Broken when heated because weaker than covalent bonds.
          • High M.P
        • Less flammable
        • Examples
          • Diesel
          • Lubricating Oil
        • Separated from short chains through fractional distillation
          • Different B.Ps in Crude Oil.
      • Short Chains
        • Opposite of long chains
        • LPG
          • Bottled Gases
      • ALKENES
        • Alkanes cracked to meet demand for specific fractions, e.g, Petrol.
          • Longer chains broken down to short chains
            • CRACKING
        • Have C=C bonds
        • Ethene
          • 2 Carbons
          • 4 Hydrogens
        • CnH2n
        • Carbon must have max. 4 bounds.
        • Bromine Saturation test:
          • Ethane + Bromine(Br2)
            • Dibromoethane
              • Bromine molecules take place in the molecule by replacing the double bond
              • Similar products with other halogens
                • HALOGENATION
          • Colour change from orange to colourless
        • Unsaturated
          • Space left for other molecules
        • ADDITION REACTIONS
    • POLYMERISATION
      • Monomers
        • One small molecule
        • Must have C=C double bond
      • Polymers
        • Chain of molecules
          • Lots of small molecules(monomers)
            • Linked together in process called ADDITION POLYMERISATION
              • High pressure
              • Initiator
              • When unsaturated molecules join together, the double bonds break and monomers simply add to make a polymer
        • Plastics
        • Examples
          • Poly(ethene)
          • Poly(styrene)
          • Poly(propene)
          • Poly(Vinychloride)
            • Poly(Vinylethene)
      • CONDENSATION POLYMERISATION
        • Requires two different monomers
        • Duriing each combination, a small molecule is lost (H2))]]
