Add: Molecules that contain only carbon and hydrogen atoms are called hydrocarbons.
The simplest one is methane.
This may be represented by
H

H
This is found in farts and swamps.
Other examples include gasoline, most kinds of plastics, ... the list is LONG.
CH4 (methane)
C2H6 (ethane)
a hydrocarbon
No. A diatomic molecule contains two atoms. A molecule of methane contains one atom of carbon and four of hydrogen for a total of five.
The bond between the carbon atoms is a double bond.
Yes, sugar like all organic compounds contains carbon. Table sugar or sucrose is C12H22O11, so each molecule contains 12 carbon atoms, 22 hydrogen atoms, and 11 oxygen atoms.
This molecule contains 22 hydrogen atoms.
There are four carbon atoms in a molecule of isobutane.
An organic molecule is a molecule and that contains carbon atoms that are connected to hydrogen, oxygen or nitrogen atoms. Glucose has carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms so it is organic.
Sugar
The hydrogen molecule contains 4 Hydrogen atoms, and one Carbon in the centre.
An organic molecule comprises of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen. It may contain two or more atoms.
12 hydrogen atoms
Glucose is a carbohydrate, which means it contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Specifically, glucose contains 6 carbon, 6 oxygen, and 12 hydrogen atoms.
Sugar is an organic molecule because it contains carbon atoms. More rigorously, it contains carbon-hydrogen bonds.
No. A diatomic molecule contains two atoms. A molecule of methane contains one atom of carbon and four of hydrogen for a total of five.
The bond between the carbon atoms is a double bond.
12 hydrogen atoms
Glucose (C6H12O6) is a monosaccharide that contains twelve hydrogen atoms, six carbon atoms and six oxygen atoms. A glucose and fructose molecule combine to create a sucrose molecule.
