False.
While hydrocarbons, the carbonyl group, and carbohydrates all contain carbon, they differ not only in the types of carbon-carbon bonds but also in their functional groups and overall structures. Hydrocarbons primarily consist of carbon and hydrogen atoms, with varying types of bonds (single, double, or triple) between the carbon atoms. The carbonyl group is a functional group consisting of a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom (C=O), and can be found in various compounds, including aldehydes and ketones. Carbohydrates are a broader class of compounds that typically consist of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in a specific ratio, and they can exist in various forms such as monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides, with unique structures and functions. Thus, the statement is incorrect.
