What is a hydrocarbon chain called when it is bent?
Bent hydrocarbon chains are called BRANCHED CHAIN.
Is short carbon chains of hydrocarbon easier to flow or long?
A hydrocarbon composed of short carbon chains will ignite more easily, just think how flammable petrol is!
Do hydrocarbon long chains have a high or low boiling point?
High
Are the attractive forces between polyethylene chains due to permanent dipoles or induced dipoles?
The attractive forces between chains are due to instantaneous induced dipoles, London dispersion forces,( not induced diipoles due to permananent dipoles). Polyethylene chains are long and the number of electrons is large- the intermolecular attraction will be significant.
Is the most complex organic molecules are hydrocarbon chains with nothing else attached?
The simplest organic molecules are hydrocarbon chains. methane CH4, ethane H3C-CH3, Propane H3C-CH2-CH3, etc....
What is the carbon content of kerosene?
Kerosene is comprised of multiple types of alkane (hydrocarbon) chains. These chains can vary between 6 to 18 carbons long. Cycloalkanes and aromatics (benzenes) are among kerosene's hydrocarbon constituents.

What are short hydrocarbon chains useful for?
Those are gas compounds. We can use it as a fuel.
What are the fats that are made up of glycerol and three hydrocarbon chains known as?
Triglyceride
What is high temperature cracking?
Breaking long hydrocarbon chains into shorter ones at high temperature.
The most common number of carbons in fatty acid hydrocarbon chains of membrane phospholipids?
19
What are fats called at room temperature when they are solid?
the presence of double boned carbons in fatty acid hydrocarbon chains and the degree of packing of fatty acid chains.
What is a fatty acid.?
A fatty acid is a carboxylic acid (an acid with a -COOH group) with long hydrocarbon side chains.
