What are Hydrocarbons?

Hydrocarbons are organic compounds made up exclusively of carbon (C) and hydrogen (H) atoms. They are the simplest organic compounds and serve as the basic framework for most organic molecules.

Hydrocarbons occur naturally in petroleum, crude oil, and natural gas and are widely used as fuels, solvents, lubricants, and raw materials in chemical industries.
