What else can I help you with?
Is CH2 a subunit?
It can be, in long chain hydrocarbons as shown in the image.
Does branched chain and ring hydrocarbons have a greater tendency to knock that straight chain hydrocarbons?
Branched chain hydrocarbons have a lower tendency to knock compared to straight-chain hydrocarbons due to their increased resistance to autoignition. Ring hydrocarbons, such as aromatics, also have lower knock tendencies because of their stable structures. Overall, both branched chain and ring hydrocarbons are preferred in high-performance engines to reduce knocking.
What are open chain hydrocarbons?
The are linear compounds.
Is petrol a short chain hydrocarbon?
Petrol typically consists of hydrocarbons with a chain length of about 5-10 carbon atoms. These are considered medium-length hydrocarbons, rather than short-chain hydrocarbons which usually have 1-4 carbon atoms.
Can Acetylene Gas be used to form long chain hydrocarbons?
I have heard that Methane can be used to form longer chain hydrocarbon fuels, -why not the much higher energy bonded Acetylene?
What is chain hydrocarbons?
A chain hydrocarbon has a long molecule containing only carbon and hydrogen.
Is CH2 a subunit?
It can be, in long chain hydrocarbons as shown in the image.
What is HFO?
Heavy Fuel Oil is what if refereed to as the heavies, is the long chain hydrocarbons in crude that can not be distilled at 350 F. The products includes greases, waxes, plastics, asphalts, tar etc. The HFO can be further process to separate the different products or can be cracked, a process that breaks the long chain hydrocarbons in to shorter chain hydrocarbons and distilled into LNG, gasoline, diesel, kerosene etc.

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. :)
What are open chain hydrocarbons?
The are linear compounds.
What element is in plastic?
Plastics are almost always made of long-chain hydrocarbons - consequently you will find hydrogen and carbon in plastics
What are the part of triglyceride?
A triglyceride is made of three long chain fatty acids (hydrocarbons) attached to one molecule of glycerol.
Is petrol a short chain hydrocarbon?
Petrol typically consists of hydrocarbons with a chain length of about 5-10 carbon atoms. These are considered medium-length hydrocarbons, rather than short-chain hydrocarbons which usually have 1-4 carbon atoms.
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
