Interpretation: The answers of various questions related to hydrocarbons are to be stated.
Concept introduction: The organic compounds containing carbon and hydrogen are known as hydrocarbons. They can be further classified as saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons. Saturated hydrocarbons contain only single bond between atoms while unsaturated hydrocarbons contains double or triple bonds between the atoms of the molecule.

Explanation of Solution
Explanation
To explain: The answers of various questions related to hydrocarbons.
Hydrocarbons are the simplest organic compounds.
The organic compounds containing carbon and hydrogen are known as hydrocarbons. They can be straight chain, branched chain or cyclic molecules.
The difference between saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons is that saturated hydrocarbons contain only single bonds between atoms while unsaturated hydrocarbons contain double or triple bonds between the atoms.
In normal straight-chain hydrocarbons, carbon atoms form long chains while in branched hydrocarbons, hydrogen attached to carbon is substituted by any other group.
When the hydrocarbons contain only single bonds, then they are known as alkanes. The general formula of alkanes is
The hybridization of carbon atom in alkanes is
All the carbon atoms in alkanes are joined by single bonds, thus its hybridization is
In alkanes, each carbon atom forms four bonds and each hydrogen atom forms a single bond with a carbon atom. The bonding around each carbon is tetrahedral, therefore all the bond angles are
The carbon atoms in cyclopropane form an equilateral triangle with a bond angle of
The carbon atoms in cyclobutane form an equilateral square and the bond angle is
Straight chain hydrocarbon does not mean that they have a linear arrangement
The number of hydrogens in cyclic alkanes is calculated by its general formula.
In short hand notation for cyclic alkanes, the hydrogens are usually omitted. They can be determined by the general formula of cyclic alkanes. Their general formula is
For example, in butane, four carbon atoms are present.
The value of
Therefore, the number of hydrogen atoms
Conclusion
Hydrocarbons are simplest organic compounds and the hybridization of carbon atom in alkanes is
