What is open chain hydrocarbon?
They contain open chain of carbon atoms in their molecules.they are also known as alicyclic hydrocarbons
Does branched chain and ring hydrocarbons have a greater tendency to knock that straight chain hydrocarbons?
Yes they knock your cylinder motor out
Is CH2 a subunit?
It can be, in long chain hydrocarbons as shown in the image.
As a carbon chain length increases viscostiy..?
Viscosity also increases with carbon chain length, at least of linear hydrocarbons.
Do small hydrocarbons have with only a few carbon atoms have low or high boiling points?
The lower the carbon chain, the lower the melting point. As the carbon chain gets longer (ie: larger hydrocarbons), the melting point gets higher.
What is open chain hydrocarbon?
They contain open chain of carbon atoms in their molecules.they are also known as alicyclic hydrocarbons
What is saturated aliphatic compounds?
Open chain hydrocarbons and derivaties which consist of C toC single bond in the molecule.
What are types of hydrocarbons?
They can be open chain "acyclic/aliphatic" or closed chain "ring/cyclic" (carbon chains). Openhain is again of different types, saturated ie.only single bonds or unsturated ie.double or thriple bonds. Cyclic hydrocarbons can be monocyclic or polycyclic
Does branched chain and ring hydrocarbons have a greater tendency to knock that straight chain hydrocarbons?
Yes they knock your cylinder motor out
Why do you think cracking is called a thermal decomposition reaction?
heat is used to decompose long chain hydrocarbons into shorter chain hydrocarbons.
Why is petrol not made from straight-chain hydrocarbons?
Straight-chain hydrocarbons ignite very easily; in a vehicle, they would ignite before they reached the engine. Branched hydrocarbons are not as reactive so they are used for fuel such as petrol.
What is the difference in a cyclic and a chain structure in hydrocarbons?
Cyclic hydrocarbons form a circular shape. Like an O chain structures are linear structures. Like VVVVV
Why is petrol a liquid?
because it has short-chain hydrocarbons
What is chain hydrocarbons?
A chain hydrocarbon has a long molecule containing only carbon and hydrogen.
Why petrol is a volatile liquid?
because it has short-chain hydrocarbons
Is CH2 a subunit?
It can be, in long chain hydrocarbons as shown in the image.
What is the name of the parent hydrocarbon of simple aromatic hydrocarbons?
the longest chain of carbons
