well, branched chains r branched off
and staright chains r straight with no bendings
hope this helps
The structure is described as a straight chain or linear chain.
With no double or triple bonds, they are called "saturated".
A straight chain hydrocarbon has two carbons that are bonded to only one other carbon (the terminal carbons). A branched chain hydrocarbon has more than two carbons that are bonded to only one other carbon (the terminal carbons at the ends of each branch). A cycloalkane (cyclic hydrocarbon) has no carbons that are bonded to only one carbon - the chain is hooked back to itself.
Hexane is a straight-chain hydrocarbon, meaning it has a continuous chain of carbon atoms with no branches or side chains attached.
Yes, isobutane is a good example of a branch chain hydrocarbon because it contains branches, or side chains, in its molecular structure. In the case of isobutane, it has one branch off the main carbon chain, making it a branch chain hydrocarbon.
The general chemical formula for a straight chain hydrocarbon is CnH2n+2, where "n" represents the number of carbon atoms in the chain.
Straight chain method is you may find your answer right away, On the otherhand the Cyclic chain method is you will do the process again until you find the right answer

The name of a straight chain alkane compound contained in most candles is paraffin. It is a mix of straight chain alkane made of several atoms of carbon.
The hydrocarbon with the formla C10H22 is Decane
It has a timing chain.
