Dodecane is a compound. It is an organic chemical compound belonging to the alkane group, consisting of 12 carbon atoms.
Dodecane has 24 hydrogen atoms. The general formula for an alkane is CnH2n+2, where n is the number of carbon atoms. Dodecane has 12 carbon atoms, so it will have 2(12) + 2 = 24 hydrogen atoms.
After undecane in the alkane series comes dodecane, which has 12 carbon atoms in its chain.
Dodecane has 12 carbon atoms in the molecule.
Citrate is a C6 compound i.e. there are 6 carbon atoms present in Citrate.
6 carbon, 10 hydrogen and 5 oxygen atoms
A chemical formula shows the elements in the compound and the ratio of atoms. For example, the chemicals formula for carbon dioxide is CO2 . In the carbon dioxide, there are always two oxygen atoms to every one carbon atom.
Three atoms are present, in one molecule of carbon dioxide. They are 1 x Carbon 2 x Oxygen They are bonded as in the following diagram 'O=C=O'. That is each oxygen doubly bonds to the one carbon. Hence the formula is 'CO2'.
Your question is not so clear. Methane has carbon and hydrogen atoms, the chemical formula being CH4. Dodecane contain also carbon and hydrogen atoms, the chemical formula being C12H26; the number of carbon and hydrogen atoms is here different. Or, otherwise it is clear that 10 g of methane contain more atoms than 1 g of methane.
Carbon dioxide is a covalent compound, it contains no ions.
After decane comes undecane, which is a hydrocarbon with 11 carbon atoms in its chain.
No, carbon atoms and oxygen atoms are not a compound on their own. Compounds are formed when two or more different elements chemically bond together. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is an example of a compound that is formed by the bonding of carbon and oxygen atoms.
