5. Hydrocarbons

Hydrogen is the chemical element with the symbol H and atomic number 1. With a standard atomic weight of 1.008, hydrogen is the lightest element in the periodic table. Hydrogen is the most abundant chemical substance in the universe, constituting roughly 75% of all baryonic mass.

In s-block consists of group I-A and group II-A. - Group I-A is known as alkali metals and contains lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, caesium and francium. - Group II-A is known as alkaline earth metals and contains beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium and radium.

In p-block elements the last electron enters the outermost p orbital. ... Consequently there are six groups of p–block elements in the periodic table numbering from 13 to 18. Boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine and helium head the groups.

General Introduction to Organic Compounds, Classification of Organic Compounds, Isomerism, Nomenclature of Organic Compounds, Purification of Organic Compounds, Qualitative Analysis of Organic Compounds, Quantitative Analysis of Organic Compounds.

In organic chemistry, a hydrocarbon is an organic compound consisting entirely of hydrogen and carbon. Hydrocarbons are examples of group 14 hydrides. Hydrocarbons are generally colourless and hydrophobic with only weak odours. Because of their diverse molecular structures, it is difficult to generalize further.
