Answer 2

If the chain contains only carbon atoms such compounds are called hydrocarbons .

$\purple{Additional \: information :}$

• An organic compound which contains hydrogen and carbon is known as hydrocarbon.

• Hydrocarbons from which one hydrogen atom has been removed are functional groups called hydrocarbyls.

• Example - methane , butane , propane etc.

• These are the simplest organic compounds and regarded as parent organic compounds .

• All other compounds are considered to be derived from them by the replacement of one or more hydrogen atoms by other atoms or group of atoms.

• The hydrocarbons can be classified as :

1. Saturated hydrocarbons .
2. Unsaturated hydrocarbons .
