A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

General concepts, aliphatic hydrocarbons, industrial sources.

This topic introduces the basic ideas behind carbon compounds, especially aliphatic hydrocarbons, and the major industrial sources from which they are obtained. For the exam, you must master how carbon forms stable chains, how aliphatic hydrocarbons are classified, and how petroleum and natural gas supply these compounds for domestic and industrial use.
