Definition
Organic chemical compounds composed entirely of hydrogen and carbon atoms. Include fossil fuels like oil and natural gas, as well as many industrial chemicals.
Etymology
Compound term combining 'hydro-' (from Greek 'hydor,' meaning water/hydrogen) and 'carbon' (from Latin 'carbo,' meaning coal). The term was coined in the early 19th century as chemists began understanding the composition of organic compounds.
Kelly Says
Hydrocarbons are literally the foundation of modern civilization - not just as fuels, but as the building blocks for plastics, pharmaceuticals, and synthetic materials. The simplest hydrocarbon, methane, makes up about 95% of natural gas, while the most complex ones can contain hundreds of carbon atoms in intricate molecular architectures.
