How does the size of a carbon molecule compare to that of hydrogen?
Wiki User
∙ 10y ago
A carbon atom is about 1.5 times as big as a hydrogen atom.
You'd need to be more specific about what you mean by "a carbon molecule". Carbon molecules can be enormous.

What is the atomic size of hydrogen peroxide?
The hydrogen peroxide is a molecule, not an atom.
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 is the difference between dispersion forces and hydrogen bonding?
Yes, hydrogen bonding may be the strongest force but dispersion forces (London dispersion) increases strength in bonds with size. The greater size the greater strength. Therefore, if you have a huge carbon molecule the forces might be stronger than the H-bond.
How many atoms are in diamond?
Diamond is composed of individual carbon atoms in a covalent network, so a diamond can in a way be though of as one giant molecule. The number of atoms depends on the size of the diamond. There are about 1022 or ten sextillion atoms for every carat.
What is the Size of carbon atom?
the size of a carbon adom the size of a carbon adom
What is the atomic size of hydrogen peroxide?
The hydrogen peroxide is a molecule, not an atom.
What is a R-group?
an added chain of hydrogen to a molecule which varies to the size of the molecule its a combination of o and h

Is any molecule or atom has the size 3.23 angstroms?
Carbon dioxide
What is the size of hydrogen sulphide molecule?
According to wikipedia, one S-H side of the molecule spans a nominal 133.6 pm and the angle between the two arms of the molecule is 92.1o.
Why glucose molecule are small then startch?
Basically, glucose has a formula of C6H12O6 which means it consists of 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and 6 oxygen atoms. Starch, on the other hand, is a long-chain molecule known as a polysaccharide, made up from many glucose molecules linked together by condensation. In other words, it would have much more carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms compared to a single glucose molecule. Imagine how you thread beads to make a necklace - the necklace is definitely going to be larger in size than a single bead.
Does carbon have the smalles nucleus?
No. Carbon nucleus has 6 protons and generally 6 neutrons. Without getting too fancy, carbon nucleus has a "size" of 12. Hydrogen nucleus typically has 1 proton only. Hydrogen has the smallest nucleus.

An atomic neucleus has a diameter of aproxamiately?
Depends a carbon nucleus is 40 times the size of an hydrogen nucleus.

What is the diameter of a glucose molecule?
There are lots of different molecule sizes, the smallest being the hydrogen molecule composed of two hydrogen atoms, and the largest being plastic molecules which can be expanded to very large sizes, effectively without limit. But typically, molecules are sub-microscopic, that is, too small to see even with an optical microscope (although they can be seen with more powerful electron microscopes).
