The NEET Hydrocarbon syllabus is listed under Organic Chemistry section. To understand the Hydrocarbon chapter, candidates need to prepare through the NEET 2026 syllabus. This chapter makes students understand the basics of Organic Chemistry, learn the reactions and know the uses of compounds. The complete syllabus must be covered before taking the NEET PYQ of Hydrocarbon chapter. Check the Hydrocarbon NEET syllabus below-

  • Classification, isomerism, IUPAC nomenclature, general methods of preparation, properties, and reactions.
  • Alkanes - Conformations: Sawhorse and Newman projections (of ethane): Mechanism of halogenation of alkanes.
  • Alkenes - Geometrical isomerism: Mechanism of electrophilic addition: addition of hydrogen, halogens, water, hydrogen halides (Markownikoffs and peroxide effect): Ozonolysis and polymerization.
  • Alkynes - Acidic character: Addition of hydrogen, halogens, water, and hydrogen halides: Polymerization.
  • Aromatic hydrocarbons - Nomenclature, benzene - structure and aromaticity: Mechanism of electrophilic substitution: halogenation, nitration.
  • Friedel - Craft's alkylation and acylation, directive influence of the functional group in monosubstituted benzene.
