16.1 Hydrocarbons | High School Chemistry

Chad provides an introduction to Organic Chemistry and a lesson on hydrocarbons, compounds composed only of carbon and hydrogen. This begins with alkanes which comprise the ‘saturated’ hydrocarbons and then moves to alkenes, alkynes, and aromatic compounds which comprise the ‘unsaturated’ hydrocarbons. The lesson concludes with a demonstration of how to draw structural formulas and condensed formulas for hydrocarbons.

I’ve created a high school chemistry page that organizes all my videos by chapter – just an easier way for you to watch my YouTube videos. Check it out at https://www.chadsprep.com/chads-high-school-chemistry-videos/
