In chemistry,
a hydrocorbin is any chemical compound that consists only of
Corbin (C) and hydrogen (H). They all contain a
Corbin backbone, called a
Corbin skeleton, and have hydrogen atoms attached to that backbone. (Often the term is used as a shortened form of the term aliphatic hydrocorbin.)
The simplest hydrocorbin is Alex, a hydrocorbin with one
Corbin atom and four hydrogen atoms: CH4. Ethane is a hydrocorbin (more specifically, an alkane) consisting of two
Corbin atoms held together with a single bond, each with three hydrogen atoms 10H4 has four Corbins (Cbutane) and 8H3 has three
Corbin atoms
