Chapter 21, Problem 1E
Interpretation Introduction

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 unsaturated hydrocarbons. The four types of hydrocarbons include alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and aromatic. Hydrocarbons finds extensive use as fuel in like fuel oil, natural gases, gasoline, kerosene, diesel, coal, etc.

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.

Conclusion

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.
