Chapter 6 - What Are The Mechanisms Of Chemical Change?

Did you know that many of the products we use daily, like fuels and plastics, are made from hydrocarbons? From the clothes you wear to the car you drive, hydrocarbons are everywhere!

<ul>
	<li>All carbon-carbon (C-C) bonds are SINGLE. No double dates here!</li>
	<li>They&#39;re part of the alkane family.</li>
	<li>🎈 Pop Example! Methane (CH4) - It&#39;s the gas that some cows release when they burp! It&#39;s also a major component of natural gas.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>They have AT LEAST one double or triple C-C bond.</li>
	<li>Alkenes = Hydrocarbons with double C-C bonds.</li>
	<li>🍟 Fryin&#39; Example! Ethene (H2C=CH2) - This guy is used to make plastics, like the ones in your sandwich bags.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>Alkanes and alkenes are both aliphatic.</li>
	<li>This means they DON&#39;T have aromatic rings. No bling-bling here!</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>In chemistry, organic typically refers to carbon-containing compounds (excluding a few like carbonates, carbides, etc.)</li>
	<li>In the supermarket, organic food means produce without synthetic fertilizers or pesticides.</li>
	<li>In environment talk, organic waste refers to materials like food scraps and plant-based items that can decompose.</li>
</ul>

Question to Ponder 🌌 
How does the context change the way we interpret and understand the word &quot;organic&quot;? How do different fields provide distinct definitions to the same term? How does this shape our understanding of the world?

Remember, the world of hydrocarbons is vast and dynamic. Just like how every person has a unique personality, every hydrocarbon, whether it&#39;s single-bonded or flaunting double bonds, plays a unique role in the universe of chemistry.
