What type of bonds does ethane have?
Ethane has one single bond between the two carbon atoms and 6 single bonds between the the carbons and hydrogens.
What are carbon carbon bonds?
Bonds between two (adjacent) C atoms.
Are alkenes saturated or unsaturated?
No, they are unsaturated as they contain double bonds
How many of these bonds can be formed by a single carbon atoms hydrocarbons?
A carbon can form a maximum of four bonds.
What is the difference between a saturated and ' unsaturated fatty acid?
Saturated fatty acids have no double covalent bonds between carbon atoms. The carbon in the chain is saturated with all the hydrogens it can hold. Saturated fatty acids account for the solid nature at room temperature of fats such as lard and butter. Unsaturated fatty acids have double bonds between carbon atoms wherever the number of hydrogens is less than two per carbon atom. Unsaturated fatty acids account for the liquid nature of vegetable oils at room temperature.
What type of bonds does ethane have?
Ethane has one single bond between the two carbon atoms and 6 single bonds between the the carbons and hydrogens.
How many bonds are in alkenes when two carbon atoms are joined?
In an alkene with two carbon atoms being joined, there would be one double bond between the carbon atoms, and 4 single bonds for the 4 hydrogens, and it would be drawn as follows: H2-C=C-H2. This is ethene, and so it has a total of 5 bonds (unless you count the double bond as a sigma and a pi) then it has 6 bonds.
What is an unsatured fat?
A fat molecule is made of a chain of carbon atoms making a "backbone" and a bunch of hydrogens along the outside. In a saturated fat, the carbon backbone has the maximum number of hydrogens it can accept. In an unsaturated fat, the carbon backbone has made one or more double bonds within the backbone and so have less than the maximum number of hydrogens around the outside.
Do saturated fatty acids have a higher ratio of hydrogen to carbon than do unsaturated fatty acids?
Saturated means that a chemical compound has as many Hydrogens on each Carbon that "it can handle". Unsaturated means that there are places containing double bonds, triple bonds, etc., between the carbons resulting in the compound having less Hydrogens as it could have maximally. Usually all fatty acids have 1 or 2 degrees of unsaturation in their long carbon tails, usually in the form of double bonds.
What sorts of bonds can carbon use?
Carbon atoms form covalent bonds with other carbon atoms, and with other nonmetals, such as carbon and oxygen, or carbon and hydrogen.
What kinds of bonds can carbon atoms form?
A double carbon bond is a covalent bond. Also carbon atoms can form double bonds. Carbon shares electrons with other atoms.
What are carbon carbon bonds?
Bonds between two (adjacent) C atoms.
What is the science behind polyethylene bonding?
Polyethylene (C20H40) has single bonds from twenty carbon atoms to forty hydrogen atoms. It is a polymer chain of ten linked ethylene (C2H4) monomers, which have two carbon atoms and four hydrogen atoms. In an ethylene monomer, the two carbons are double bonded to themselves, while the hydrogens are single bonded to the carbons. When the ethylene monomers link to form Polyethylene, however, the bonds turn into all single bonds.
The carbon atoms in organic molecules are bonded to other atoms by?
Carbon atoms are fixed into organic compounds in The Calvin Cycle.
What bonds does carbon atoms tend to form?
Carbon will almost always form bonds with other carbon atoms, and that is part of what makes it such a useful element.
Carbon can react to how many atoms at one time?
It depends on the atoms it is reacting with. If carbon it is 4 eg CH4 is methane, if oxygen it is two eg CO2 is carbon dioxide. This is because carbon can form four bonds, and carbon-carbon bonds are single bonds and carbon-oxygen bonds are double bonds.
Where is the energy in a glucose molecule stored?
The energy in a glucose molecule is stored in the bonds between the atoms.
