Physical State of Unbranched Hydrocarbons  Procedure:  In the activity sheet, ENCIRCLE the compound if it is a gas, UNDERLINE the compound if it is a  liquid, and BOX the compound if it is solid at room temperature.  Unbranched alkanes and unbranched alkenes or alkynes with only one or triple bond containing 1 to  4 carbon atoms (C1-C4) are GASES at room temperature.  Unbranched alkanes and unbranched alkenes or alkynes with only one or triple bond containing 5 to  17 carbon atoms (C5-C17) are LIQUIDS at room temperature.  Unbranched alkanes and unbranched alkenes or alkynes with only one or triple bond containing 18  or more carbon atoms (≥ C18) are SOLIDS at room temperature.   CH3CH2CH3 – It is a GAS because it is an unbranched alkane containing 3 carbon atoms.  1-Hexene – It is a LIQUID because it is an unbranched alkene containing 6 carbon atoms (if you will  illustrate the structure) with only one double bond.  CH≡C-(CH2)16 -CH3 – It is a SOLID because it is an unbranched alkyne containing 19 carbon atoms  with only one triple bond.   Unbranched cycloalkanes and unbranched cycloalkenes with only one double bond containing 3 to 4  carbon atoms (C3-C4) are GASES at room temperature.  Unbranched cycloalkanes and unbranched cycloalkenes with only one double bond containing 5 to 8  carbon atoms (C5-C8) are LIQUIDS at room temperature.  Unbranched cycloalkanes and unbranched cycloalkenes with only one double bond containing 9 or  more carbon atoms (≥ C9) are SOLIDS at room temperature.  Example:  Cyclopropane - It is a GAS because it is an unbranched cycloalkane containing 3 carbon atoms.  Cyclohexene - It is a LIQUID because it is an unbranched cycloalkene containing 6 carbon atoms  with only one double bond.  Cyclodecane - It is a SOLID because it is an unbranched cycloalkane containing 10 carbon atoms.  Cyclononene It is a SOLID because it is an unbranched cycloalkene containing 9 carbon atoms with  only one double bond.  (Note: We will not include Cycloalkynes because they are unstable and rarely found in nature)

Physical State of Unbranched Hydrocarbons 

Procedure: 

  1. In the activity sheet, ENCIRCLE the compound if it is a gas, UNDERLINE the compound if it is a  liquid, and BOX the compound if it is solid at room temperature

  2. Unbranched alkanes and unbranched alkenes or alkynes with only one or triple bond containing 1 to  4 carbon atoms (C1-C4) are GASES at room temperature. 
  3. Unbranched alkanes and unbranched alkenes or alkynes with only one or triple bond containing 5 to  17 carbon atoms (C5-C17) are LIQUIDS at room temperature. 
  4. Unbranched alkanes and unbranched alkenes or alkynes with only one or triple bond containing 18  or more carbon atoms (≥ C18) are SOLIDS at room temperature.

 

CH3CH2CH3 – It is a GAS because it is an unbranched alkane containing 3 carbon atoms. 

1-Hexene – It is a LIQUID because it is an unbranched alkene containing 6 carbon atoms (if you will  illustrate the structure) with only one double bond. 

CHC-(CH2)16 -CH3 – It is a SOLID because it is an unbranched alkyne containing 19 carbon atoms  with only one triple bond.  

  1. Unbranched cycloalkanes and unbranched cycloalkenes with only one double bond containing 3 to 4  carbon atoms (C3-C4) are GASES at room temperature. 
  2. Unbranched cycloalkanes and unbranched cycloalkenes with only one double bond containing 5 to 8  carbon atoms (C5-C8) are LIQUIDS at room temperature. 
  3. Unbranched cycloalkanes and unbranched cycloalkenes with only one double bond containing 9 or  more carbon atoms (≥ C9) are SOLIDS at room temperature. 

Example: 

Cyclopropane - It is a GAS because it is an unbranched cycloalkane containing 3 carbon atoms. 

Cyclohexene - It is a LIQUID because it is an unbranched cycloalkene containing 6 carbon atoms  with only one double bond. 

Cyclodecane - It is a SOLID because it is an unbranched cycloalkane containing 10 carbon atoms. 

Cyclononene It is a SOLID because it is an unbranched cycloalkene containing 9 carbon atoms with  only one double bond. 

(Note: We will not include Cycloalkynes because they are unstable and rarely found in nature)
