Solution
| Open chain hydrocarbons | Closed chain hydrocarbons | |
| 1. | In open chain hydrocarbons, carbon atoms are linked to form a continuous straight or branched chain. | In closed chain hydrocarbons, carbon atoms are linked to form a ring structure. |
| 2. | They are not aromatic compounds. | They can be aromatic compounds. |
| 3. | E.g. Propane, Isobutane | E.g. Cyclohexane, Benzene |
