Hydrocarbon
Types of hydrocarbon:
saturated hydrocarbon: carbon-carbon atoms and carbon-hydrogen atoms are held together by single bonds.
unsaturated hydrocarbon: single, double or triple bonds between carbon-carbon atoms.
Double bond: alkenes
Triple bond: alkynes
Aliphatic hydrocarbons: straight chain structure, no ring. Derive from the chemical breakdown of fats or oils. They are divided into alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes.
-
Aromatic hydrocarbons: Also known as arenes, at least one aromatic ring
-
"A hydrocarbon is an organic chemical compound composed exclusively of hydrogen and carbon atoms. Hydrocarbons are naturally-occurring compounds and form the basis of crude oil, natural gas, coal, and other important energy."
-
"Hydrocarbons are chemical compounds that are utilized as the basis of the vast majority of global energy production."
"A variety of complex technologies and techniques have been developed for extracting hydrocarbons from deep within the earth."
"Because of the serious environmental cost of using hydrocarbons as a primary source of energy, it is likely that in the years and decades ahead, the movement away from hydrocarbons and toward alternative energy sources such as solar, nuclear, wind, and geothermal power will increase exponentially."

-
carbon atoms join together to form the framework of the coumpund ,and the hydrogen atoms attach to them in many different configurations.
-
They serve as fuels and lubricants as well as raw materials for the production of plastics, fibres, rubbers, solvents, explosives, and industrial chemicals.
-
where are they found?
majority of hydrocarbons found on Earth occur in petroleum, coal, and natural gas. Petroleum and coal are generally thought to be products of decomposition of organic matter. In contrast to petroleum, is coal, which is richer in carbon and poorer in hydrogen
