More Information
Hydrocarbons, also known as carbonaceous compounds, are organic compounds composed solely of carbon and hydrogen. These compounds, commonly referred to as hydrocarbons, form through reactions with chlorine, bromine vapor, oxygen, and other elements. Methane (CH4) is the simplest hydrocarbon molecule, consisting of a central carbon atom connected to four hydrogen atoms.
In our daily lives, we frequently encounter hydrocarbons. For instance, propane in natural gas and butane in lighters are both examples of hydrocarbons. They serve as fuels due to the vast energy stored within their covalent bonds. During combustion, this energy is released in the form of heat as they react with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water.
Hydrocarbons encompass various types, including:
● aromatic hydrocarbons
● saturated hydrocarbons
● aliphatic hydrocarbons
