Page 1Introduction - ReviewIntroduction to hydrocarbon, and in particular, alkane structure with the concept of carbons bonding to one another in chains with each carbon also bonded to hydrogens
3 marksPage 2QuestionsTwo question pages are concerned with the elements in hydrocarbons and the way in which they are linked together
2 marksPage 3Characteristics of alkane structure
Page 4Bonding - ReviewIntroduction to bonding in alkanes explaining the four bonds to carbon and one bond to hydrogen using electron dot diagrams of the atoms, focusing on the covalent nature of the bonding and the concept of shared electron pairs.
9 marksPage 5QuestionsTwo question pages involved with interpreting the given structures of alkanes in terms of the electron dot diagrams and the electron pair bond.
7 marksPage 6Hydrogens at carbon
Page 7Naming alkanes - ReviewIntroducing the stem-suffix nomenclature of alkanes where the suffix is -ane and the stem depends on the numbers of carbons in the chain
6 marksPage 8QuestionsSeven question pages which involve identifying structures from names or vice versa including one page where the users are given molecular models of alkanes and asked to identify their name

Introduction to the terms saturated and homologous series with indication that a general formula for alkanes can be developed
8 marksPage 16Questions
Three question pages where the general formula for alkanes is exposed through comparing alkane molecular formulae and that formula is applied to predict the number of hydrogens for a given number of carbons
