Compounds with just hydrogen and carbon are referred to as hydrocarbons.

Hydrogen is a non-metal. It is the simplest element in the Periodic Table.

Carbon is a special non-metal, it has a valency of 4 which allows it to form complex structures with not only itself but other elements, carbon is the basis of life.
