Do small hydrocarbons have with only a few carbon atoms have low or high boiling points?

The lower the carbon chain, the lower the melting point. As the carbon chain gets longer (ie: larger hydrocarbons), the melting point gets higher.

What is the main purpose of petroleum refining?
The various hydrocarbons present in petroleum have different boiling points. as the number of carbon atoms in a hydrogen increases,it's boiling point also increases.This property is used to separate the different components of petroleum by fractional distillation.The components with different boiling points are known as fractions, and the process of separating the fractions by fractional distillation is known as refining.
What are the chemical properties of hydrocarbons?
Hydrocarbons have only hydrogen and carbon atoms. They also burn well.
How did you mean by saturated hydrocarbons?
Saturated hydrocarbons have only single bonds between carbon atoms.
When hydrocarbons burn in plenty of oxygen the atoms rearrange themselves onto carbon dioxide and?
The compounds resulting from the total burning of hydrocarbons are carbon dioxide and water.
COMPOUNDS MADE UP OF CARBON AND HYDROGEN ATOMS ONLY ARE CALLED?
Hydrocarbons
How does the size of and number of atoms contained in a hydrocarbon affect its properties?
As the base number of carbon atoms in a simple hydrocarbon increases, the higher the potential energy contained in the compound. More complex hydrocarbons can also have shifting melting and boiling ranges.
What should have the lowest boiling point ch4c2h6 c3h8 c4h10 c5h12?
2-methyl propan-2-olIt has the most branched structre so it has weaker van der waals
What atoms do Hydrocarbons have?
Carbon and Hydrogen Atoms
Are hydrocarbons made of only carbon and oxygen atoms?
No. Hydrocarbons contain only Hydrogen and Carbon atoms. Think about it for a second, HYDRO-Carbon. HYDROGEN... Get it?
What atoms are in hydrocarbon?
There are carbon and hydrogen atoms present in hydrocarbons.

What are Hydrocarbons containing only single-bonded carbon atoms called?
Saturated hydrocarbons
What is a compound that contains carbon and hydrogen atoms?
Compounds that contain ONLY carbon and hydrogen are named as 'hydrocarbons'. Some examples;_ Methane, Ethene, Octane. Alcohols and carboxylic acids are NOT hydrocarbons, because they also contain oxygen.

What is the name given to chemicals that only contain hydrogen atoms and carbon atoms?
Hydrocarbons
