A hydrocarbon is a chemical compound consisting only of carbon and hydrogen. |
|
A hydrocarbon is an organical chemical compound consisting only of carbon and hydrogen. They all consist of carbon backbone and atoms of hydrogen attached to that backbone. |
|
Geologically-extracted hydrocarbons are referred to as petroleum (literally "rock oil") and are a significant source of fuel and raw material as a feedstock? for the production of [organic chemical]?s. |
|
There are basically three types of hydrocarbons: saturated hydrocarbons, which don't have double, triple or aromatic bonds, [unsaturated hydrocarbons]?, which have one or more double or triple bonds between carbon atoms, and aromatic hydrocarbons, which have at least one [aromatic ring]? in addition to whatever bonds they have. |
|
The simplest forms of hydrocarbon, in terms of structure and bonding, are the linear alkanes. More complex structures are found in cyclic alkanes and in aromatic hydrocarbons. |
|
Unsaturated hydrocarbons are divided to: * alkenes * allenes * alkynes * dienes |
