If you can make two structural isomers for the saturated alkane C4H10 does that mean you can connect the carbons in two different patterns?

Yes, if you can make two structural isomers for the saturate alkane C4H10 it does mean you can connect the carbons in two different patterns.

Why are the shapes of the lipid molecules different between saturated and unsaturated fats?
Because the unsaturated fats contains double bonds between some of the carbons, saturated fats only contain single bonds between all of the carbons. The double bonding gives the molecules a different goemetry.
What two sugars are structural isomer and what makes them different?
Glucose and fructose are two structural isomers: they both have the formula C6H12O6, but differ in the arrangement of those atoms within their molecules. Glucose forms a ring with six carbons, while fructose forms rings with only five carbons (the rest are attached to the outside of the ring.) These different structures give the two different properties and make them react differently.
Octane and methane are both carbon and hydrogen atoms why are they different?
Octane and methane are both saturated hydrocarbons and follow the formula CnH2n+2. The only thing that's different is the number of carbons (and hence hydrogens) in the backbone. Octane has 8 carbons and has formula C8H18. Methane has 1 carbon and has formula C1H4.
Is octane a saturate carbon?
Octane is any hydrocarbon made of 8 carbons, it can be saturated, unsaturated, branched, cyclic, etc.
What is the molecular formula for eicosane with 20 carbons?
Assuming the hydrocarbon is saturated the formula would be C21H44 In a saturated hydrocarbon the number of hydrogen atoms is equal to twice the number of carbon atoms, plus two.
Why are the shapes of the lipid molecules different between saturated and unsaturated fats?
Because the unsaturated fats contains double bonds between some of the carbons, saturated fats only contain single bonds between all of the carbons. The double bonding gives the molecules a different goemetry.
What is saturated polymer?
The term saturated means or referred to a compound in which all carbons are bonds in a single bonds and every one of the carbon atoms are bonded to a different atoms.
What has to happen in order for a molecule to become saturated?
All of the carbons have to be attached to the maximum amount of hydrogens. So there can only be single bonds between the carbons in order for the molecules to be saturated.
What are Diesel and kerosene made of?
Carbon and Saturated Hydro carbons
Saturated fatty acids are so named because they are saturated with?
The saturated fatty acids have only single bonds between atom carbons; the chain is saturated with hydrogen atoms.
Why is glucose a structural isomer?
A structural isomer is when molecules have the same formula, but a different structure. Glucose is a structural isomer because Pyruvate and Ribose have the same formula (CH2O), but have a different number of carbons, hydrogens and oxygens: C3H6O3 - Pyruvate C5H10O5 - Ribose C6H12O6 - Glucose Hope this helps! :)
At room temperature how many carbons must a saturated fat have to be a solid?
12

Is it true that Saturated fats are composed of fatty acids with several double bonded carbons?
no
Are saturated fatty acids the principal molecules in lard and butter?
Yes, a long chains of single bonded carbons the are saturated with a full complement of hydrogens.
A fatty acid tail that contains all single bonds between carbons?
Saturated fat
