What are Hydrocarbons containing only single-bonded carbon atoms called?
Saturated hydrocarbons
What is the name given to the series of hydrocarbons containing only single carbon to carbon bonds?
These are called saturated hydrocarbons.
What are compounds containing both hydrogen and carbon called?
Compounds that contain only hydrogen and carbon are called hydrocarbons. There are many of these, saturated hydrocarbons are termed alkanes, examples range from methane CH4 the smallest to polymers such as polythene (C2H4)n , others include the unsaturated hydrocarbons with double or triple bonds (alkenes and alkynes) such as ethylene C2H4, acetylene C2H2
How did you mean by saturated hydrocarbons?
Saturated hydrocarbons have only single bonds between carbon atoms.
Chemical that contain carbon and hydrogen are called?
Hydrocarbons
Has molecules only containing carbon and hydrogen?
Some molecules only contain Carbon and Hydrogen. They are called Hydrocarbons.
What are saturated Hydrocarbons?
Saturated hydrocarbons have every possible bonding site on the carbon backbone that could bond to a hydrogen bonded to a hydrogen. All carbon-carbon bonds are single. These hydrocarbons are rigid and have high melting temperatures. Lard, Crisco, Butter, and Margarine are saturated.Unsaturated hydrocarbons don't and therefor contain one or more double or triple carbon-carbon bond(s). These hydrocarbons are "floppy" and have lower melting temperatures. Cooking and Salad oils are unsaturated.
What is the difference of alkanes and alkenes?
Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons. Alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons with atleast one carbon-carbon double bond.
What are hydrocarbons with only a single bond called?
A type of hydrocarbon that contains carbon atoms connected only by a single bond is called saturated hydrocarbon. It is the simplest form of the hydrocarbon species.
Conclusion over hydrocarbons?
Shortly, hydrocarbons are organic compounds containing carbon and hydrogen.
What is a fat with no carbon-carbon double bonds called?
Saturated. This is because with no carbon-carbon double bonds the bonding sites are taken up by hydrogen, thus saturated. These saturated fats are solider tha unsaturated fats containing carbon-carbon double bonds.
Are alkenes hydrocarbons?
Yes, since hydrocarbons are compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen, and alkenes fit this description. More specifically, alkenes contain at least one C to C double bond (but no triple bonds) and their general formula is CnH2n+2
