Hunting refers to the practice of pursuing, capturing, or killing wild animals for food, sport, or management purposes. In the environmental context, hunting has significant implications for ecosystems, biodiversity, and species conservation. While it has been a traditional means of survival and cultural practice for centuries, modern hunting is regulated to balance the needs of wildlife conservation with human activities.
Deutsch: Kohlenwasserstoff / Español: Hidrocarburo / Português: Hidrocarboneto / Français: Hydrocarbure / Italiano: Idrocarburi
In organic chemistry, a hydrocarbon is an organic compound consisting entirely of hydrogen and carbon.[1] Hydrocarbons from which one hydrogen atom has been removed are functional groups, called hydrocarbyls.[2] Aromatic hydrocarbons (arenes), alkanes, alkenes, cycloalkanes and alkyne-based compounds are different types of hydrocarbons.
The majority of hydrocarbons found on Earth naturally occur in crude oil, where decomposed organic matter provides an abundance of carbon and hydrogen which, when bonded, can catenate to form seemingly limitless chains.
Deutsch: Fluorchlorkohlenwasserstoff / Español: hidroclorofluorocarbono / Português: hidroclorofluorocarboneto / Français: hydrochlorofluorocarbone / Italiano: idroclorofluorocarburo
Hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) refers to a group of chemical compounds that contain hydrogen, chlorine, fluorine, and carbon. They are used in various applications, including Refrigerants, solvents, and foam-blowing agents.
