<P> In organic chemistry , a hydrocarbon is an organic compound consisting entirely of hydrogen and carbon , and thus are group 14 hydrides . Hydrocarbons , from which one hydrogen atom has been removed , are functional groups called hydrocarbyls . Aromatic hydrocarbons ( arenes ) , alkanes , cycloalkanes and alkyne - based compounds are different types of hydrocarbons . </P>
