Breaking the C-H bonds in Hydrocarbons to Synthesize Complex Organic Molecules
The carbon-hydrogen bonds in alkanes – especially those at the ends of the molecules, where each carbon has three hydrogen atoms connected to it– are tough to “crack” if you want to change the hydrogen atoms with other atoms. Methane (CH4) and ethane (CH3CH3) are composed, specifically, of such tightly adhered hydrogen atoms. In the […]
