Carbon atoms readily link to one another to form a chain
palytoxin is the longest carbon chain molicule consisting of 115 carbon atoms
No. A Carbon atom, like all atoms, only contain Subatomic Particles. A Molecule is a chain of atoms linked together with an atomic bond.
Polyethylene gets harder as the number of carbon atoms increases.
Energy is released.

They may contain chain of carbon atoms.
Carbon can get attached to other four atoms, including other four carbon atoms. Carbon can form the chain and that is unique to this atom.
When an alkene of 4 or more carbon atoms is treated with H+, isomerization may occur by migration of the C=C bond along the carbon chain. A strong base such as potassium amide, KNH2, can also promote double bond isomerization. The acid or base acts as a catalyst, i.e. the reactions are acid-catalysed or base-catalysed isomerizations. The C=C bond moves to a more substituted position within the carbon chain, for example but-1-ene isomerizes to but-2-ene in the presence of H+ CH3CH2CH=CH2 (H+catalyst)= CH3CH=CHCH3
hydrogen atoms
No. A Carbon atom, like all atoms, only contain Subatomic Particles. A Molecule is a chain of atoms linked together with an atomic bond.

An open chain of carbon atoms. e.g. hexane
Yes. Carbon is an atom. A chain of carbon atoms is a molecule, and highly compressed carbon is a girl's best friend.
Polyethylene gets harder as the number of carbon atoms increases.
