Hydrocarbons are chemical compounds made up of only hydrogen and carbon. Hydrocarbons usually have a carbon skeleton to which the hydrogen atoms are attached. The simplest hydrocarbon is methane, with one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms.
Some of the well known energy sources such as petroleum and natural gas have a mixture of various hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons hold a high energy potential which can be liberated by burning them.
Add your answer:
What are hydrocarbons and substituted hydrocarbons?
hydrocarbons are the organic compounds of carbon and hydrogen
Are epoxies classed as hydrocarbons?
They are not hydrocarbons.
Why are longer chain hydrocarbons available for cracking?
Cracking is the process in which "higher" hydrocarbons are broken down and converted into "lower" hydrocarbons. It's only natural that we use long chain hydrocarbons in cracking- we want the smaller hydrocarbons because they have higher demand.
Why hydrocarbons are hydrophilic?
Hydrocarbons are hydrophobic !
Explain what hydrocarbons and substituted hydrocarbons are?
study and get the answer
Are hydrocarbons hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
Hydrocarbons are hydrophobic.
What is the complete combustion of hydrocarbons?
Reaction of the hydrocarbons with a sufficient amount of oxygen to convert all the carbon atoms in the hydrocarbons to carbon dioxide and all the hydrogen atoms in the hydrocarbons to water.
The chemical properties of substituted hydrocarbons are not different than the properties of the original hydrocarbons?
True. The chemical properties of substituted hydrocarbons aren't different than the properties of the original hydrocarbons.
What are chlorinated and fluorinated hydrocarbons?
Hydrocarbons containing chlorine atoms are called chlorinated hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons containing fluorine atoms are called fluorinated hydrocarbons. eg> CHCl3, CHF3 etc
What is a property of hydrocarbons?

Are cyclic hydrocarbons unsaturated?
Cycloalkanes are saturated hydrocarbons.
What is the sharing of electrons in hydrocarbons?

What is the element for hydrocarbons?
Hydrocarbons contain carbon and hydrogen.
Are alcohols hydrocarbons?
No. Alcohols are not hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons are composed exclusively of carbon and hydrogen atoms. Alcohol also has oxygen atoms.
How are substituted hydrocarbons and hydrocarbons different?
In substituted hydrocarbons some hydrogen atoms are replaced with other elements or groups.
