How will you classify hydrocarbons ?

Explanation

Hydrocarbons are classified into three classes such as :
(i) Alkanes : These are hydrocarbons which contain only single bonds. They are represented by the general formula `C_nH_(2n+2)`(where n=1,2,3,.........).
(ii) Alkenes : The hydrocarbons which contain one or more C=C bonds are called alkenes . These are unsaturated compounds . They are represented by the general formula `C_nH_(2n)`.
Ex: Ethylene `(C_2H_4)`
Hydrocarbons are organic compounds that are made of only hydrogen and carbon atoms. They are found in many palces , including crude oil and natural gas .
