Question

Why Organic Compounds are called as Hydrocarbons? Write General Formula for Homologous series of Alkanes, Alkenes and Alkynes.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Certain compounds are called hydrocarbons because they are a group of compounds which are made up of hydrogen and carbon. ... The general formula of homologous series alkynes is CnH2n−2. The first member of alkanes homologous series is methane. The first member of alkenes homologous series is ethene.

Answer 2

Organic compounds are called hydrocarbons because they are made up of hydrogen and carbon.

General formula:

Alkanes: C(n)H(2n+2)

Alkenes: C(n)H(2n)

Alkynes: C(n)H(2n-2)
