Yes
Hexane is a straight chain hydrocarbon
Bent hydrocarbon chains are called BRANCHED CHAIN.
it looks like chain
unsaturated
Yes, it is infact a short chain molecule :D

Bent hydrocarbon chains are called BRANCHED CHAIN.
A substituted hydrocarbon created from a hydrocarbon chain is by replacing at least one hydrogen atom with an atom of another element.
Typically the shorter the carbon chain, the LESS viscous the hydrocarbon. The longer the chain, the MORE viscous the hydrocarbon. For example consider the viscosity and molecular size in: Gasoline < Diesel < Motor Oil < Tar Viscosity increases with the molecular size and length of hydrocarbon chain.

A hydrocarbon that is very viscous and not very flammable is made of a long chain hydrocarbon.
A fatty acid is usually found as an ester in a fat or oil. It is a hydrocarbon chain that has a terminal carboxyl (COOH) group.
Diesel oil is the mixture of hydrocarbon with average carbon chain of 16 (usually around 8 - 28 in number of carbon).
The difference between a hydrocarbon and a fatty acid is that a fatty acid is a hydrocarbon chain with a carboxylic acid head.
Yes, it is infact a short chain molecule :D
A chain hydrocarbon has a long molecule containing only carbon and hydrogen.
