Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The general formulas for alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes are to be defined.

Concept introduction:

The compound that consists of carbon atoms is considered an organic compound and the study of these carbon consisting compounds is known as organic chemistry.

A compound devoid of any carbon atoms is considered an inorganic compound and the study of these compounds is known as inorganic chemistry.

An organic compound is considered to be a hydrocarbon if it consists only carbon and hydrogen atoms. The atoms in hydrocarbon are linked by single, double, or triple bond.
