What else can I help you with?
What element would need to be removed from a molecule to make it unsaturated?
To make a molecule unsaturated, a double bond would need to be removed. This results in the molecule having fewer hydrogen atoms bonded to the carbon atoms, allowing it to form additional bonds with other atoms or molecules.
What type of triglyceride would vegetable oil be?
Since triglyceride is just a fancy word for one fat molecule, the answer would be unsaturated.
Which element would need to be removed from a saturated fatty acid to make it unsaturated?
Hydrogen
What prefix describes a molecule with seven atoms of the same element?
The prefix for seven atoms of the same element is "hepta-". So a molecule with seven atoms of the same element would be described as "heptatomic".
What does the element DO stand for?
There is no ELEMENT with the symbol "DO" however, it would be the molecule which is one atom of deuterium (D) and one atom of oxygen (O). Deuterium is an isotope of hydrogen. This molecule would be called deuterium oxide.
Which element would have to be removed to make a fat unsaturated?
The fat would have to lose a hydrogen atom. [So it would have a double bond between two carbon atoms]
Is C12H22 saturated or unsaturated?
The basis for its saturation is a hydrocarbon with the general formula:- CnH2n+2 If a compound does not satisfy this, then it is unsaturated. Thus here 'n' = 12 Thus with 12 Carbon atoms present in the molecule, to be saturated, would need 26 Hydrogen atoms (C12H26). C12H22 is therefore unsaturated and will have 4 Carbon to Carbon double bonds in it.
What are free elements?
A free element would be any atom that is not part of a molecule.
Is F an example of a molecule?
Fluorine is an element, the symbol F would indicate its atomic form not a molecule, the symbol F2 would indicate its diatomic molecular form. Fluorine gas is the F2 diatomic molecular form not F.
Can two different isotopes of an element form a diatomic molecule?
Yes. There is nothing that would prevent them from doing that.
Which is smaller an element or a molecule?
An atom of an element is usually smaller than a molecule of a compound. Molecules are made by bonding 2 or more atoms, of one or more elements. The molecule is the smallest particle of a compound.
What is the smallest particle of a substance that has all the properties of that substance?
For an element, it would be an atom. For a molecular substance, it would be a molecule. If it is an ionic compound, it would be a formula unit.
