Introduction:
All organisms are made up of water and organic molecules that are essential to life. Generally, organisms contain various organic chemical compounds. Most of the organic molecules are occupied by carbon and hydrogen called hydrocarbons. Because it has a carbon atom that forms four covalent bonds with hydrogen atoms. This element combines with each other to form complex molecules, i.e., long chains, branched chains, and complex rings.
