Explanation of Solution
Hydrocarbons make good wide variety of fuels and consumer goods as their covalent bonds store large amount of energy, on burning the molecule a large amount of energy is released.
Two natural sources of hydrocarbons are coal and petroleum.
Coal is used as a fuel for electric power plants.
