- Organic Chemistry
- fractional distillation of crude oil is heating and evaporating the oil then the condensation at different temperatures as the vapour rises up the column
- Examples of hydrocarbons include alkanes and alkenes
- alkanes are saturated and have no double bonds
- alkenes have at least one carbon-carbon double bond
- ethene can undergo addition reactions with hydrogen and bromine
- the reaction with bromine can be used as a test for alkenes
- addition polymers are formed by the joining together of large numbers of molecules of a single monomer
- thermoplastics melt easily but thermosets are heat resistant due to different structures
