Question

what are hydrocarbons ?

Answer 1

Hydrocarbons are the compounds which contains hydrogen and carbon.

Examples:- Alkanes (Methane, Ethane), Alkenes and Alkynes,etc.

Answer 2

$\textbf{Answer :}$


$\huge\bf\green{Hydrocarbons :}$


The compounds of hydrogen with carbon are known as $\textbf{Hydrocarbons.}$

Hydrocarbons are of $\textbf{two types.}$

1) SaturatedSaturated and

2) Unsaturated.Unsaturated. 

$\underline{Saturated\:hydrocarbons}$ in which single bonds are present.

They are Alkanes

Formula = CnH2n+2

$\underline{Unsaturated\: hydrocarbons}$ in which double and triple bonds are present.

Double bond = Alkenes

Formula = CnH2n

Triple bond = Alkynes

Formula = CnH2n-2
