Study Plan

1
Day 1–2

Learn the Theory

Read the textbook chapter carefully. Note down definitions, formulas and key ideas. Focus on: 1. Hydrocarbons: Alkanes, Alkenes and Alkynes, 2. Methane and Ethane, 3. Ethene: Preparation, Properties and Reactions.

2
Day 3

Practise

Solve the textbook exercises and extra practice questions. There are 42 questions available for this chapter.

3
Day 4

Revise & Test

Revise key points without looking at your notes. Take a practice quiz and mark weak areas for another pass.

Day 7

Spaced Revision

Come back to Organic Chemistry II after a week. Use flashcards for quick recall and try past exam questions on this chapter.

What to Focus On

  • Hydrocarbons contain only carbon and hydrogen.
  • Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons.
  • Alkenes contain C=C double bonds.
  • Methane is also called marsh gas and fire damp.
  • Natural gas contains about 85 per cent methane.
  • Methane has tetrahedral geometry with bond angle 109°28′.
  • Methane combustion is highly exothermic.
  • Main chlorination product of methane in excess methane is methyl chloride.
  • Methane iodination is slow and reversible.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Ethylene is not the first member of the alkene series because methylene should come first.

When methane reacts with chlorine in excess chlorine, carbon tetrachloride is the main product.

Iodination of methane and ethane behave the same way.

Memory Tips

Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons with formula CnH2n+2

Methane is also called marsh gas and fire damp

Methane prepares from sodium ethanoate and soda lime

Methane combustion is highly exothermic
