Hydrocarbon can also be classified as:
Aliphatic Hydrocarbons
Depending on the type of bonding
C-X bond breaks first to give a carbocation intermediate, followed by base removal of a proton to yield the alkene
E1 reaction
C-H and C-X bonds break simultaneously, giving the alkene in a single step without intermediates
E2 reaction
C-H bond breaks first, giving a carbanion intermediate that losses X to form the alkene.
E1cB reaction
