    The passage discusses different types of hydrocarbons including alkanes, alkenes and their properties. It also talks about crude oil refining and polymerization reactions.

    The three fractions obtained from crude oil refining are kerosene, petrol and bitumen.

    Saturated hydrocarbons have only single bonds between carbon atoms while unsaturated hydrocarbons have one or more double or triple bonds. This affects their reactivity and properties.

    1. Which one of the following compounds is not a hydrocarbon? Circle.

    C2H4 C2H6O C6H6 C4H10

    2. Which one of the hydrocarbons in the list is not an alkane? Circle.

    C6H12 C7H16 C10H22 C40H82

    3. Write down a use for each of the following alkanes:


    a) Methane:

    b) Propane:

    c) Octane:
