Alkanes are simplest organic compounds made up of carbon and...... only
Correct answer: A. Hydrogen
- A. Hydrogen
- B. Nitrogen
- C. Sulfur
- D. Oxygen
Explanation
Alkanes are indeed the simplest organic compounds composed solely of carbon and hydrogen atoms. They form a class of hydrocarbons characterized by single covalent bonds between carbon atoms and hydrogen atoms. This makes option A, 'Hydrogen', the correct answer. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because alkanes do not contain nitrogen, sulfur, or oxygen atoms in their basic structure.

About Chemistry of Hydrocarbons
Hydrocarbons are studied through the structures and reactions of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and aromatic compounds. Coverage includes free radical substitution in alkanes, electrophilic addition to carbon-carbon multiple bonds, benzene substitution, aromatic stability and the difference between addition reactions of alkenes and substitution reactions of benzene.
