Four. A terminal carbon in an alkane is bonded to 3 hydrogens and 1 carbon, while a middle carbon is bonded to 2 hydrogens and 2 carbons.
Alkanes have carbon atoms bonded by single bonds, and follow the formula CnH2n+2. Alkenes on the other hand always have one double bond somewhere between a pair of carbon atoms, explaining why they follw the general formula CnH2n.
all the single bonded hydrocarbons are saturated ... they do not add up further hydrogen or other atoms ... they are of two types 1- alkanes 2- cyclo alkanes....
No. At least two carbon must be present to have an alkene.Related Information:Alkenes differ from alkanes, due to the presence of a Carbon to Carbon double bond.The simplest alkene is ethene, commonly called ethylene, with 2 carbon atoms double bonded to each other.
Primary alcohols have the –OH group attached to a carbon atom that is bonded to only one other carbon atom, secondary alcohols have the –OH group attached to a carbon atom bonded to two other carbon atoms, and tertiary alcohols have the –OH group attached to a carbon atom bonded to three other carbon atoms. The classification is based on the number of carbon atoms bonded to the carbon atom holding the –OH group.
Primary alcohols have the -OH group attached to a carbon atom that is only bonded to one other carbon atom. Secondary alcohols have the -OH group attached to a carbon atom that is bonded to two other carbon atoms. Tertiary alcohols have the -OH group attached to a carbon atom that is bonded to three other carbon atoms.
intermolecular forces.
At normal pressure, the alkanes pentane (C5H12) through decane (C10H22) are liquids. Alkanes are organic compounds consisting of a single carbon chain of single covalently bonded carbon atoms surrounded by hydrogen atoms.
A saturated carbon atom is bonded to four other atoms. In organic compounds, this typically includes other carbon atoms or hydrogen atoms. This arrangement allows the carbon atom to reach its stable configuration with a full outer shell of electrons.
A carbon ring with 6 atoms is called a cyclohexane. It has a hexagonal shape with each carbon atom bonded to two other carbon atoms.
The carbon atoms in organic molecules are primarily bonded to other atoms through covalent bonds, which involve the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. This allows carbon to form stable molecular structures essential for life processes.
