Fuels :

- Coal
- Natural gas (Methane)
- Petroleum (Crude oil)

Fractional distillation:

N/A - Refinery gas (used as a fuel)
30 degree celsius - Gasoline (used as a fuel in cars)
110 degree celsius - Naphtha (used as make chemicals)
180 degree celsius - Kerosene / Paraffin (used as a fuel in jet engines)
260 degree celsius - Diesel oil / Gas oil (used as a fuel in diesel engines)
N/A - Fuel oil (used as a fuel for ships and for home heating systems)
N/A - Lubricating oil (used in waxes and polishes)
N/A - Bitumen (used as a fuel in jet engines)

Homologus series :

- Trend in physical properties
- Same general formula
- Same functional group
- Similar chemical properties
- Differs from its neighbouring member by CH2

Properties of Alkanes :

Saturated hydrocarbons
General formula : CnH(2n+2)
Increase in boiling point
Physical state at room temperature : Gas > Liquid > Solid

Combustion of alkanes :

Gives CO2 and water, incomplete combustion will give CO and water.

Subsitution reaction :

Condition - Bright light (Photochemical)

Alkanes react with chlorine to give a mixture of chloroalkanes. One hydrogen atom is subsituted by one chlorine atom.

Methane + Chlorine -> Chloromethane (CH3Cl) + HCl

Amazing stuff Darren
u summarized the whole chapter!
thanks a lot man
dude u forgot one more thing
in halogenation
u also need lead tetraethyl and a high temprature
UV/Bright light is the main answer though
thanks anyway dude  :)

i guess u go on with this :/ ill make another

Perhaps we should collaborate or something ... I am hopeless at drawing diagrams, would you be kind enough to provide illustrations on branched alkanes?

Not even close :D Still got alcohol, alkanoic acid and ester ... Not to mention addition and condensation polymerisation *sigh*
