No: If a material contained carbon atoms only, it would be an element, not a compound.
the difference in structure between a saturated and an unsaturated compound is found in their bonds. A Saturated compound contain only one carbon-carbon signle bond. all the four bonds of carbon are fully utilised and no more hydrogen or other atoms can attach to it. Thus, they can undergo only substitution reactions. (aka ALKANES). An Unsaturated Compound contain one double covalent bond between carbon atoms or a triple covalent bond between carbon atoms. the bonds of carbon are not fully utilised by hydrogen atoms, more of these can be attached to them. Thus, they undergo addition reactions as they have two or more hydrogen atoms less than the saturated hydrocarbons
No, it is a compound. Compounds are made up of elements, and elements are made up of atoms.
Hydrocarbons are a whole family of compounds of carbon and hydrogen.
Hydrocarbons i think:D hope this helps..
Both carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2) are made up of carbon and oxygen atoms only. Both are colorless, odorless gases.
Carbon is not made form any compound. It is an element composed only of carbon atoms.
Hydrocarbons
Only some cyclic carbon atom rings can properly be called aliphatic: those without any carbon-carbon double bonds or aromatic ring bonds. For example, cyclohexane is aliphatic, but cycolohexene and benzene, which all contain rings of six carbon atoms, are not.
An alkane.
CO3 is an unstable compound and it is only theoretical.
They are basically noncyclic or cyclic molecules that are not aromatic. Thus, instead of the normal benzene ring that has 3 double bonds inside, it is just a saturated closed ring.
An element is a substance that has only one type of atom in (e.g. Carbon atoms). A chemical compound is a substance that has two or more types of atom in (e.g. Carbon and Zinc atoms). An example of a compound would be Carbon Dioxide, which has two types of atom in a molecule: Carbon and Oxygen.
A chemical compound is an entity consisting of two or more atoms, at least two from different elements. So if this is just carbon, it can not be a compound. But a couple of things only made of carbon are graphite (found in pencils) and diamond.

The name hydrocarbon means that the only elements in the compound are hydrogen and carbon. Unsaturated means there are double or triple bonds in the compound. Hydrogen atoms cannot form double or triple bonds, but two carbon atoms can. Thus unsaturated hydrocarbons must have a minimum of two carbon atoms.
Compounds that contain ONLY carbon and hydrogen are named as 'hydrocarbons'. Some examples;_ Methane, Ethene, Octane. Alcohols and carboxylic acids are NOT hydrocarbons, because they also contain oxygen.
No, it is a compound. Compounds are made up of elements, and elements are made up of atoms.
