WACE Chemistry — Unit 3

Hydrocarbons — Flashcards & Quiz

Hydrocarbons are compounds of carbon and hydrogen only, and WACE Chemistry Year 12 expects you to distinguish alkanes, alkenes and alkynes by their bonding, predict reactions, and use IUPAC nomenclature to name and draw structures. Combustion equations and Markovnikov's rule for alkene addition are high-yield exam content.
