Hydrocarbons form the backbone of organic chemistry, with alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes representing key classes. This comprehensive guide explores their general formulas, structural formulas, and naming conventions.
- Alkanes (CnH2n+2) are saturated hydrocarbons with single bonds
- Alkeny wzory sumaryczne (CnH2n) feature a carbon-carbon double bond
- Alkiny wzór (CnH2n-2) contain a carbon-carbon triple bond
- Naming follows systematic rules based on carbon chain length and functional groups
