Generally branched chain hydrocarbons is where substituent groups (e.g. -methyl, CH3 or -hydroxy, OH) are attached onto the main chain of hydrocarbons. Branching is often used to shorten the chain length of hydrocarbons as shorter chain are more valuable. Branching is a type of reforming or isomerism of hydrocarbons.
For example of the branched hydrocarbon of butane changes from:
H H H H H CH3 H
H - C - C - C - C - H to 2-methylpropane H - C - C - C - H
H H H H H H H
Very simply branching just changes the shape of a hydrocarbon
What else can I help you with?
Is a starch molecule a straight chain or is it branching?
THERE ARE TWO POSSIBLE REASON 1)Animal require a high amount of energy so in glycogen there are many terminal ends ,due to high branching ,so in a given time more number of glucose can be detached and consequently used for energy while in plant high amount of energy at a given instant is not required so no or less branching is there in starch 2)in animal less space is presnt so glycogen is highly branched to occupy less space while in plants there is no limitation of space so starch is less branched
What is the unbranched chains called?
Unbranched chains of atoms, typically in organic chemistry, are referred to as "linear chains" or "straight-chain hydrocarbons." In these structures, the carbon atoms are connected in a straight line without any branching. Common examples include alkanes like butane and hexane, where all carbon atoms are linked sequentially.
What is a hydrocarbon chain called when it is bent?
A hydrocarbon chain that is bent is called a branched hydrocarbon chain. This means that the carbon atoms in the chain are not arranged in a linear fashion, but rather have additional side chains branching off.
What two side chains that are involved in bonding are common to every amino acid?
I wouldn't call them side chains, a term which refers to part of a branching carbon skeleton. The two functional groups involved in bonding are the carboxylic acid group, -COOH and the amino group, -NH2.
How are large hydro carbonates obtained from crude oil?
There is no such thing as "hydrocarbonates". You seem to have confused "carbohydrates" with "hydrocarbons".Crude oil consists mostly of a mixture of hydrocarbons. Some of the hydrocarbons are small molecules, such as pentane. Others are large molecules with many carbon atoms linked in long chains, branching chains, rings, linked rings etc. Sometimes the long and branching chains are "cracked" and the rings are "rectified" by heat and reacting with carbon in the presence of catalysts, producing smaller and simpler hydrocarbons.Hydrocarbons consisting of large molecules are generally separated from hydrocrbons with small molecules by means of fractional distillation.
Is the smooth muscle branching or non branching?
branched
When was Branching Out created?
Branching Out was created in 1958-09.
What are the characteristics of branched polymers and how do they differ from linear polymers?
Branched polymers have side chains branching off from the main polymer chain, giving them a more complex structure. This branching increases their flexibility and reduces their crystallinity compared to linear polymers, which have a straight chain structure. Branched polymers also have lower viscosity and higher elasticity than linear polymers.
Does cellulose have branched chains?
No, cellulose does not have branched chains. It is a linear polymer made up of glucose units that are linked together in a straight chain structure. Branched chains are seen in other polysaccharides like glycogen and amylopectin.
How branching differes in roots versus sterms?
Branching in roots is endogenous and in stems it is exogenous
What are the difference between ldpe and lldpe?
LLDPE has shorter and more branches its' chains are able slide against each other upon elongation without becoming entangled like LPDE which has long branching chains that would get caught on each other. This gives LLDPE higher tensile strength and higher impact and puncture resistance than the LDPE
Increase branching of a hydrcarbon has what effect on its octane rating?
Increasing branching in a hydrocarbon generally increases its octane rating. This is because branching reduces the likelihood of pre-ignition or knocking in the engine, which is a common issue with straight-chain hydrocarbons. Branching increases the efficiency of combustion, leading to a higher octane rating.
