How did you mean by saturated hydrocarbons?
Saturated hydrocarbons have only single bonds between carbon atoms.
How is the way in which carbon atoms bond to each other important for the number of carbon-based compounds?
Hydrocarbons are molecules consisting of/containing only atoms of carbon and hydrogen. There are many different kinds of hydrocarbons based on different numbers of carbon atoms in the molecules and whether or not any of the carbons are connected by double bonds rather than single bonds.
Hydrocarbons which have only single bonds between carbon atoms?
All alkanes have single bonds.They consist of single bonds.
What are the chemical properties of hydrocarbons?
Hydrocarbons have only hydrogen and carbon atoms. They also burn well.
When hydrocarbons burn in plenty of oxygen the atoms rearrange themselves onto carbon dioxide and?
The compounds resulting from the total burning of hydrocarbons are carbon dioxide and water.
What are Hydrocarbons containing only single-bonded carbon atoms called?
Saturated hydrocarbons
How did you mean by saturated hydrocarbons?
Saturated hydrocarbons have only single bonds between carbon atoms.
What atoms do Hydrocarbons have?
Carbon and Hydrogen Atoms
A saturated hydrocarbon is an organic compound which contains hydrogen and carbon joined?
The bond is covalent; the meaning of saturated is a single bond between carbon atoms (C-C).
What are saturated Hydrocarbons?
Saturated hydrocarbons have every possible bonding site on the carbon backbone that could bond to a hydrogen bonded to a hydrogen. All carbon-carbon bonds are single. These hydrocarbons are rigid and have high melting temperatures. Lard, Crisco, Butter, and Margarine are saturated.Unsaturated hydrocarbons don't and therefor contain one or more double or triple carbon-carbon bond(s). These hydrocarbons are "floppy" and have lower melting temperatures. Cooking and Salad oils are unsaturated.
Are hydrocarbons made of only carbon and oxygen atoms?
No. Hydrocarbons contain only Hydrogen and Carbon atoms. Think about it for a second, HYDRO-Carbon. HYDROGEN... Get it?
What atoms are in hydrocarbon?
There are carbon and hydrogen atoms present in hydrocarbons.
What has a single ring of carbon and nitrogen atoms?
hydrocarbons

What are hydrocarbons with only a single bond called?
A type of hydrocarbon that contains carbon atoms connected only by a single bond is called saturated hydrocarbon. It is the simplest form of the hydrocarbon species.
