    Hydrocarbons are compounds made of carbon and hydrogen. There are different classes of hydrocarbons including aliphatic, cyclic, and aromatic. Hydrocarbons can be obtained from natural sources like natural gas, petroleum, and coal. They can also be produced synthetically through organic reactions or fermentation and used to create important derivatives like solvents, rubbers, plastics, vitamins, medicines, and more.
