Is short carbon chains of hydrocarbon easier to flow or long?
A hydrocarbon composed of short carbon chains will ignite more easily, just think how flammable petrol is!
What is a hydrocarbon chain called when it is bent?
Bent hydrocarbon chains are called BRANCHED CHAIN.
Do hydrocarbon long chains have a high or low boiling point?
High
Explain how the size of hydrocarobon molecules affects the strength of intermolecular forces?
The longer the hydrocarbon chain, the stronger the intermolecular forces. This leads to higher boiling point, and these chains are likely to be less useful.
Is the most complex organic molecules are hydrocarbon chains with nothing else attached?
The simplest organic molecules are hydrocarbon chains. methane CH4, ethane H3C-CH3, Propane H3C-CH2-CH3, etc....

What are the fats that are made up of glycerol and three hydrocarbon chains known as?
Triglyceride
What is the carbon content of kerosene?
Kerosene is comprised of multiple types of alkane (hydrocarbon) chains. These chains can vary between 6 to 18 carbons long. Cycloalkanes and aromatics (benzenes) are among kerosene's hydrocarbon constituents.
Why is hydrocarbon important?
it makes smaller molecules which is more useful.
Does longer hydrocarbon molecules have higher boiling points than short hydrocarbon molecules?
yes
The most common number of carbons in fatty acid hydrocarbon chains of membrane phospholipids?
19
What is high temperature cracking?
Breaking long hydrocarbon chains into shorter ones at high temperature.
What is the difference between a short-chain and a long-chain hydrocarbon?
short chain hydrocarbons have a low boiling and melting point whereas high chain hydrocarbons have a higher boiling and melting point. Also, short chain hydrocarbons have a low density and higher ones have a higher density. :)
