Question

what are hydrocarbons???/ explain their types

Answer 1

Hydrocarbons are the compound of hydrogen and carbon.

Types of Hydrocarbons.
1 ⇒ Alkanes

2 ⇒ Alkynes

3 ⇒ Alkenes

Answer 2

$\huge\mathfrak\red{Hydrocarbons :}$



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
