Explanation:

Oxidation of Hydrocarbon

Hydrocarbons are released continually from living things or through the decomposition of living things on Earth. Only methane has a high enough concentration to be listed in the chart of molecules in the atmosphere.

All hydrocarbons react in air to form carbon monoxide and then carbon dioxide through a series of reactions. The first step is always the reaction between the hydrocarbon and hydroxyl radical. With alkanes, the hydroxyl radical abstracts a hydrogen atom and forms a carbon-centered radical.

Because an O-H bond is stronger than a C-H, this step is exothermic.

With alkenes and alkynes, the electron-deficient hydroxyl radical adds to the multiple bond.

The carbon-centered radical then reacts with molecular oxygen. There are many steps after this that, ultimately, gives carbon dioxide and water.
