Concept explainers
Interpretation:The term hydrocarbon needs to be explained. The difference between a saturated hydrocarbon and an unsaturated hydrocarbon needs to be explained. Also, a normal and branched hydrocarbon needs to be distinguished.
Concept introduction: Hydrocarbons are formed by hydrogen and carbon. Hydrocarbons are classified as saturated hydrocarbons and

Answer to Problem 1E
Hydrocarbons are formed by hydrogen and carbon. Hydrocarbons are classified as saturated hydrocarbons and unsaturated hydrocarbons.
In a general hydrocarbon, hydrogen atoms are attached to all the carbon atoms in the chain where C has complete octet and H has complete duet.
Explanation of Solution
Hydrocarbons are formed by hydrogen and carbon. Hydrocarbons are classified into two categories. The two types of hydrocarbons are saturated hydrocarbons and unsaturated hydrocarbons. A saturated hydrocarbon contains only single-single bonds, whereas an unsaturated hydrocarbon contains a single carbon-carbon bond as well as multiple carbon-carbon bond that is double or triple bonds.
Hydrocarbons are formed by hydrogen and carbon. Hydrocarbons are classified as saturated hydrocarbons and unsaturated hydrocarbons.
In a general hydrocarbon, hydrogen atoms are attached to all the carbon atoms in the chain where C has complete octet and H has complete duet.
