What type of fat bonds carbonhydrogen chains?

Saturated fats have carbon-hydrogen chains with single bonds between carbon atoms. Unsaturated fats have carbon-carbon double bonds, leading to kinks in the carbon-hydrogen chains.


What type of bonds does ethane have?

Ethane has nonpolar covalent bonds. These bonds are formed between the carbon and hydrogen atoms in ethane, where the electrons are shared evenly between the atoms.


What is the difference in chemical structure between saturated and unsaturated fats?

Saturated fats have all single bonds between carbon atoms in their fatty acid chains, while unsaturated fats have at least one double bond between carbon atoms in their fatty acid chains.


What is the difference between a saturated hydrocarbon and an unsaturated hydrocarbons?

The difference is that a saturated hydrocarbon contains all single bonds: each carbon is surrounded by 4 hydrogens, and is thus "saturated." Meanwhile, unsaturated hydrocarbons do not contain all single bonds: they can have double bond(s) or even triple bonds. They are "unsaturated" since they do not have the maximum of 4 hydrogens around each carbon atom.


Are saturated fatty acids the principal molecules in lard and butter?

Yes, a long chains of single bonded carbons the are saturated with a full complement of hydrogens.


True or false Carbon atoms can bond together in straight chains?

Yes. Carbon atoms form to create certain types of chains. Straight Carbon Chains, Branched Carbon Chains, and Carbon Rings. Carbon can form single, double or triple bonds. You're welcome


How many hydrogens would be required to complete a molecule that contained a carbon and a nitrogen with a C-N single covalent bond between them?

Carbon = 4 valance electronsNitrogen = 5 valance electrons4 + 5 = 9 and 2 valance electrons used for the single bond, 9 - 2 = 73 hydrogens can attach to the carbon and 4 hydrogens can attach to the nitrogen, so.......7 hydrogen atoms would complete this molecule===================================


Which family of organic compounds does not contain any multiple bonds?

Saturated hydrocarbons, also known as alkanes, do not contain any multiple bonds such as double or triple bonds. They consist of single bonds between carbon atoms and are saturated with hydrogen atoms.


Which molecule is propyne?

Propyne is a linear hydrocarbon with 3 carbons and 4 hydrogens. Two of the carbons are triple bonded, the remaining carbon is single bonded to the middle carbon Starting at the single bonded end, you have three hydrogens bonded to the first carbon, which is single bonded to the middle carbon. The middle carbon is triple bonded to the last carbon. The last carbon is also bonded to a hydrogen. H ...\ H-C-C≡C-H .../ H


How many hydrogens are there per atom of carbon in carbohydrate?

There is no single such number, but if the carbohydrate has a sufficiently high molecular weight, the value approaches two hydrogen atoms per carbon atom from above.


Exlain the term sigma and pi carbon carbon bonds with reference toethene molecule?

Sigma bonds are single bonds. pi bonds are double bonds. Ethene has a double bond. So between the two carbons, there is one sigma bond and one pi bond. Between the carbon and hydrogens, there is one sigma bond.


What are fatty acid chains with all single bonds between carbon and hydrogen?

Saturated fatty acids have all single bonds between carbon and hydrogen atoms in their hydrocarbon chain, making them saturated with hydrogen atoms. These fatty acids typically found in animal products and some plant oils are solid at room temperature due to their straight structure.
