A student states that this structural formula represents a hydrocarbon. A C atom is bonded above, below, and left to H, and to the right to a second C, which is in turn bonded to the right to an O; the O is bonded to the right to H. Is the student correct? Yes, a hydrocarbon is any compound that contains a carbon backbone. Yes, a hydrocarbon is any compound that contains hydrogen and oxygen. No, a hydrocarbon contains only carbon and hydrogen atoms. No, a hydrocarbon contains at least one double or triple bond.
