Aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons are the two different types of hydrocarbons. Aliphatic hydrocarbons include alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes. An aromatic hydrocarbon is benzene. Hydrocarbons come in four different types. These include aromatic hydrocarbons, alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes (also known as hydrocarbons). Alkanes are the most basic types of hydrocarbons. Butane, propane, ethane, and methane are the main constituents of hydrocarbons in general. Extramarks provide access to information on all the different types of hydrocarbons, which is necessary to gain a thorough understanding of their characteristics and preparation for chemistry exams.
