Question

Classification of hydrocarbon flowchart with examples​

Answer 1

Answer:

Classification of Hydrocarbons-

Older chemists classified hydrocarbons as either aliphatic or aromatic. The classification was done based on their source and properties. As such, it was found out that Aliphatic hydrocarbons were derived from chemical degradation of fats or oils whereas aromatic hydrocarbons contained substances that were a result of chemical degradation of certain plant extracts. However, today we classify hydrocarbons on the basis of structure and not merely on the origin.
