Is hexane a straight-chain hydrocarbon or a branched hydrcarbon?
Hexane is a straight chain hydrocarbon
Is straight chain is more viscous than branched chain?
A straight chain hydrocarbon has two carbons that are bonded to only one other carbon (the terminal carbons). A branched chain hydrocarbon has more than two carbons that are bonded to only one other carbon (the terminal carbons at the ends of each branch). A cycloalkane (cyclic hydrocarbon) has no carbons that are bonded to only one carbon - the chain is hooked back to itself.
What is a hydrocarbon chain called when it is bent?
Bent hydrocarbon chains are called BRANCHED CHAIN.
What is a Aliphatic Hydrocarbon?
An open chain of carbon atoms. e.g. hexane
What are the 3 basic shapes of carbon molecules?
The 3 basicshapes of carbon molecules are ring, branched, and straight chain.
Is hexane soluable in methanol?
Octanol is more soluble in hexane because it has a longer nonpolar hydrocarbon chain.
What is cyclisation reaction?
when a molecular hydrocarbon chain is turned in a cycloalkane. e.g. hexane into cyclohexane
What are the structural formula for alcohols?
Roh, where "R" is a hydrocarbon, could be straight chain branched chain or a ring or rings. A good organic chemistry text or google search will give examples I do not know how to draw here.
How does a branch chain differ from a straight chain?
well, branched chains r branched off and staright chains r straight with no bendings hope this helps
What are the disadvantages of synthetic detergents?
Detergents are not biodegradable because they have highly branched hydrocarbon chain which is not biodegradable.
Suggest the most stable confirmation of hexane?
straight chain
What is the longest continuous carbon chain of a branched-chain hydrocarbon?
palytoxin is the longest carbon chain molicule consisting of 115 carbon atoms
