compound composed of carbon and hydrogen (Chemistry)
Hydrocarbon
In
organic chemistry, a hydrocarbon is an organic compound consisting entirely of
hydrogen and
carbon. With relation to chemical terminology,
aromatic hydrocarbons or arenes,
alkanes,
alkenes and
alkyne-based compounds composed entirely of carbon or hydrogen are referred to as "Pure" hydrocarbons, whereas other hydrocarbons with bonded compounds or impurities of sulphur or nitrogen, are referred to as "impure", and remain somewhat erroneously referred to as hydrocarbons.
