Compounds that contain only hydrogen and carbon are called hydrocarbons. There are many of these, saturated hydrocarbons are termed alkanes, examples range from methane CH4 the smallest to polymers such as polythene (C2H4)n , others include the unsaturated hydrocarbons with double or triple bonds (alkenes and alkynes) such as ethylene C2H4, acetylene C2H2
They are called hydrocarbons.
Hydrocarbons, which are what most of our fossil fuels are made of.
compounds containing hydrogen and carbon are called hydrocarbons.
Hydrocarbons, if they contain only H and C.

Hydrocarbon
This is the chemistry of compounds containing carbon; but traditionally compounds containing carbon are considered as inorganic compounds.
carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide Essentially, organic compounds contain carbon and hydrogen.
Shortly, hydrocarbons are organic compounds containing carbon and hydrogen.
In general organic compounds / substances / materials contain carbon atoms bonded with other atoms and/or those related to life. It is the chemistry of carbon containing compounds. Inorganic is everything else and generally do not contain carbon (with some exceptions).
A molecule is deemed and termed to be organic if it contains Carbon and hydrogen. Methane [CH4] is the simplest example. Carbon forms chains i.e. -C-C-C-C- etc, and has room for two side branches 'to boot!' Organic chemistry is the basis for Biochemistry.
They are termed organic compounds. Compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen are called hydrocarbons and they are a subset of organic compounds.
There are tens of thousands of them. Perhaps the biggest category of such molecules are called the hydrocarbons, which are compounds of carbon and hydrogen. Another category is the organic compounds which are compounds containing carbon; most of these also contain hydrogen.
Hydrocarbons are the organic compounds containing molecules with carbon and hydrogen.
Hydrogen.
Carbohydrate
they are called inorganic compounds
No, hydrogen is an element. Alkanes are a class of compounds containing both hydrogen and carbon.
Compounds containing carbon are referred to as organic compounds
Every single organic thing contains carbon.
