Yes, it is infact a short chain molecule :D
A hydrocarbon composed of short carbon chains will ignite more easily, just think how flammable petrol is!
Short-chain hydrocarbon molecules excluding methane and ethane are considered to be volatile organic compounds. Generally this is defined as the range from propane to octane,
Hexane is a straight chain hydrocarbon
Bent hydrocarbon chains are called BRANCHED CHAIN.
it looks like chain

Typically the shorter the carbon chain, the LESS viscous the hydrocarbon. The longer the chain, the MORE viscous the hydrocarbon. For example consider the viscosity and molecular size in: Gasoline < Diesel < Motor Oil < Tar Viscosity increases with the molecular size and length of hydrocarbon chain.
because it has short-chain hydrocarbons
Hydrocarbon is a carbon dioxide but is also call hydrocarbon

petrol is a hydrocarbon fuel
Bent hydrocarbon chains are called BRANCHED CHAIN.
Hexane is a straight chain hydrocarbon
A substituted hydrocarbon created from a hydrocarbon chain is by replacing at least one hydrogen atom with an atom of another element.
short chain hydrocarbons have a low boiling and melting point whereas high chain hydrocarbons have a higher boiling and melting point. Also, short chain hydrocarbons have a low density and higher ones have a higher density. :)
