Hydrocarbons
Learning Time: 5-15 hours
Content: Hydrocarbons is the subject that studies organic compounds composed of carbon and hydrogen atoms. This field covers alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, aromatic hydrocarbons, isomerism, chemical reactions (combustion, addition), and practical applications. The TYT focuses on basic hydrocarbon types, while the AYT focuses on reaction mechanisms. The current 2025 curriculum also covers biofuels and environmental chemistry. Learning this topic lays the foundation for fuel and materials chemistry.
