Question

How can I name hydrocarbons with functional groups?

Answer 1

Hydrocarbons are organic compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen. They include alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and aromatics. The latter three are considered different types of functional groups. Alkanes are not usually considered as functional groups; instead, an alkane is a compound that lacks functional groups.
