Hydrocarbons are the simplest organic compounds, composed entirely of carbon and hydrogen, yet they form the basis of all organic chemistry. This course offers a comprehensive introduction to hydrocarbons, including alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and aromatic compounds, along with their physical and chemical properties.

Students will explore the structure, bonding, and classification of hydrocarbons, followed by a detailed study of their reactions and mechanisms. The course emphasizes real-world applications such as fuels, petrochemicals, and industrial synthesis, helping learners connect theory with practice. By the end of this course, students will gain a solid understanding of hydrocarbon chemistry and its importance in everyday life and advanced organic studies.
