This section explores the practical importance of Alkanes, Alkenes, and Alkynes in everyday life and industrial chemistry. Hydrocarbons are not just theoretical molecules studied in Organic Chemistry—they are the foundation of fuels, plastics, synthetic materials, pharmaceuticals, and numerous industrial processes.
Designed for Class 11–12 students, NEET/JEE aspirants, and undergraduate learners, this category connects core concepts such as bonding, hybridization, reactivity, and reaction mechanisms to real-world applications.
In this section, you will study:
• Alkanes as major energy sources (CNG, LPG, petrol, diesel, aviation fuel)
• Fractional distillation of crude oil and the petrochemical industry
• Industrial use of alkenes in manufacturing polymers like polyethylene and polypropylene
• Production of alcohols, glycols, and halogen derivatives from alkenes
• Use of alkynes such as acetylene in welding and metal cutting
• Role of hydrocarbons in plastics, synthetic rubber, detergents, and fibers
• Environmental concerns related to hydrocarbon combustion and air pollution
• Sustainable and cleaner fuel alternatives
By linking classroom theory with industrial and environmental contexts, this section strengthens conceptual clarity while building analytical understanding. It helps students appreciate how Hydrocarbons form the backbone of modern industry and supports strong preparation for school examinations, competitive exams, and higher studies in Chemistry.
