Why is a saturated hydrocarbon an organic compound which contains hydrogen and carbon joined?
The bond is covalent; the meaning of saturated is a single bond between carbon atoms (C-C).
What is any molecule that contains hydrogen and carbon?
Any molecule that contains hydrogen and carbon is an organic compound. If the molecule contains no other elements, it is also a hydrocarbon.
How many hydrogens are on a saturated hydrocarbon with 4 carbons?
The compound described is cyclobutene*; it contains 6 hydrogen atoms per molecule. _________________ *Theoretically, the compound could be methyl cyclopropene, but this ring structure is apparently too strained to exist under normal conditions. If it does exist it also would contain 6 hydrogen atoms per miolecule.
Is carbon dioxide a hydrocarbon?
"Hydrocarbon" means something that contains only carbon and hydrogen. Coal is mainly carbon with small amounts of other materials. There are certainly hydrocarbon compounds present in coal, but for the most part it's probably more correct to think of it as an impure form of carbon.
Is CH3OH an example of a hydrocarbon?
Methanol. CH4 is Methane. OH is an alcohol (so you ad the "ol" ending). So you get: Methane + ol --> Methanol. It is a poisonous alcohol commonly synthesized from methane gas (natural gas), typically of petroleum origin, but also possible from natural "biogas". It is used in "racing fuel", biodiesel production, as well as a solvent.
Why is a saturated hydrocarbon an organic compound which contains hydrogen and carbon joined?
The bond is covalent; the meaning of saturated is a single bond between carbon atoms (C-C).
Is air a hydrocarbon?
No, a hydrocarbon is a compound that contains only hydrogen and carbon, air is a mixture that contains a few hydrocarbons.
What is the difference between a hydrocarbon and a organic compound?
A carbon is an element, while a hyrdocarbon is a compound that has carbon and hydrogen in it.
How many hydrogens would there be in a hydrocarbon with 121 carbons?
If it is saturated open chain hydrocarbon then hydrogen must be 244.
What is the compound that contains carbon and hydrogen atoms?
There are several billion different such hydrocarbon compounds.
What is any molecule that contains hydrogen and carbon?
Any molecule that contains hydrogen and carbon is an organic compound. If the molecule contains no other elements, it is also a hydrocarbon.
Is acetylene a saturated hydrocarbon?
It is a saturated hydrocarbon. This because it contains the maximum number of hydrogen required to bind with the carbon atoms present in the compound
What is the lipids that contain the maximum number of carbon and hydrogen possible?
A saturated hydrocarbon. Fats of a solider nature.
An alkane is defined by?
In Science an alkane is a paraffin, an organic compound and is a saturated hydrocarbon. Made up of only carbon and hydrogen atoms.
