No, there are many hydrocarbons which have colour, other than white or colorless. Examples:

Orange colored

> 9,10-Bis(2-phenylethynyl)anthracene: H5C6-C≡C-C14H8-C≡C-C6H5 : C30H18

> Tetracene: C18H12

> Perylene: H6C7C6C7H6 : C20H12

> Diindeno[1,2,3-cd:1',2',3'-lm]perylene: H8C13C6C13H8 : C32H16

Yellow colored

> 9,10-Diphenylanthracene: H5C6-C14H8-C6H5 : C26H18

> Dibenzo[def,mno]chrysene: C22H12

> 1,2-Dihydroacenaphthylene: C12H10

> Acenaphthylene: C12H8

> Chrysene: C18H12

> Methylcholanthrene: H3C-C20H13 : C21H16

Pinkish Red colored

> 5,6,11,12-Tetraphenyltetracene: H4C4-C36H20-C4H4 : C42H28

etc.

What is the similitries between Alkanes Alkenes and Alkynes?

1.The first four (i.e. c1 to c4) members of alkanes are gases,c5 to c17 are all colourless liquids, and higher than c17 are all colourless solids . 2. They are insoluble in water but soluble in organic compounds. 3. They are lighter than water (less dense) and float on it. 4. They are bad conductors of heat and electricity.


What is the difference between white and colorless?

White refers to a color made up of all the wavelengths of visible light, while colorless means lacking any color at all. White is a specific hue, while colorless is the absence of hue. White objects reflect all wavelengths of light, while colorless objects do not reflect any visible light.


Do all hydrocarbons have a fruity smell?

Not all hydrocarbons have a fruity smell. The scent of hydrocarbons varies significantly depending on their molecular structure and the presence of functional groups. While some hydrocarbons, like certain esters, may have a fruity aroma, many others, such as alkanes and aromatic hydrocarbons, can have more earthy, petroleum-like, or even unpleasant odors. Therefore, the smell of hydrocarbons is diverse and not universally fruity.


All hydrocarbons have ringed-shaped molecules?

This statement is not accurate. While some hydrocarbons do have ring-shaped molecules (such as cycloalkanes and aromatics like benzene), not all hydrocarbons have this structure. Hydrocarbons can exist in various forms including linear chains and branched structures.


Are hydrocarbons poisons?
