Hydrocarbon


___________________________________



A compound which is made up of hydrogen and carbon only is known as hydrocarbon.




There are two types of Hydrocarbon :-




1 ) = Saturated hydrocarbon


2 ) = Unsaturated hydrocarbon




● Saturated hydrocarbon =>




A hydrocarbon in which the carbon atoms are connected by only single bonds is known as saturated hydrocarbon.



Examples = methane , ethane , propane etc.



Saturated hydrocarbon are also known as Alkane and the general formula of Alkane is CnH2n+2.


● Unsaturated hydrocarbon




Unsaturated hydrocarbon are those hydrocarbon in which the two carbon atoms are connected by " double bond " or " triple bond ".




There are two types of unsaturated hydrocarbon




1 ).= Alkenes and

2 ) = Alkynes.




● Alkenes are those hydrocarbon which contain double bond of carbon - carbon atom. The general formula of Alkene is CnH2n.




● Alkynes are those hydrocarbon in which carbons atom are connected by triple bond. The general formula of Alkynes is CnH2n-2.
