Organic compounds are formed from carbon and hydrogen though sometimes there may be additional elements like oxygen, sulphur etc.
carbon and hydrogen generally make hydrocarbon.
hydrocarbons are also organic compounds.
hydrocarbons are classified as alkanes , alkenes & alkynes.
best example for hydrocarbon is methane...

∙ 15y agoa mixture of hydrogen and carbon can make a multitude of different hydrocarbons. This all depends on how many carbons and hydrogens are present. For example, if only one carbon is present, then it will make the hydrocarbon methane, or CH4(g). If more than one carbon is present it can make a chain of carbon and hydrogens, which can be an alkane (for single carbon-carbon bonds), an alkene (for double carbon-carbon bonds), an alkyne (for triple carbon-carbon bonds), cycloalkanes, (-enes, -ynes) (a number of carbons and hydrogens arranged in a closed shape instead of a linear fashion), or a benzene ring (six carbons and six hydrogens arranged in a ring with bonds almost like 1.5 bonds. )

What elements make up cornmeal?
Starch is a carbohydrate made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms.
Are carbon hydrogen and oxygen carbohydrates?
No. On their own they are elements. Carbohydrates do consist of carbon hydrogen and oxygen, but these elements can combine to make other compounds as well.

Why doesn't hydrogen produce carbon dioxide?
How could it? There is no carbon in hydrogen. It order to make carbon dioxide, you must have carbon and oxygen.

What does one carbon and twelve hydrogen atoms make?
CH4 and 2 H2 Carbon can only make 4 bonds and hydrogen atoms are very reactive so they react to hydrogen gas.
