How does the size of and number of atoms contained in a hydrocarbon affect its properties?
As the base number of carbon atoms in a simple hydrocarbon increases, the higher the potential energy contained in the compound. More complex hydrocarbons can also have shifting melting and boiling ranges.
Do long hydrocarbons have a higher boiling point then short hydrocarbons?
This is true as far as we are talking about alkanes. As the size of an alkane chain increases the boiling point increases because the relatively low van der Waals forces increase with mass. The higher the vdw forces the more energy required to break apart two molecules and thus higher boiling points.
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 happens to the size of the atoms as you move down the periodic table in group 7?
Down the group, size increases. Because number of shells increases.
Why solubility of hydrocarbons decreases as no of carbon atoms increases?
the solubility of the hydrocarbons decrease because as the number of carbons increase the electron density of the electronegative element i.e.oxygen increase and the polarity of o-H bond decrease . Thus the capability of hydrocarbon to form hydrogen bond decrease and its solubility decrease

As a carbon chain length increases viscostiy..?
Viscosity also increases with carbon chain length, at least of linear hydrocarbons.

What happens to capillarity as particle size increases?
As particle size in increases, capillarity decreases
Population growth pattern where a population grows faster as it increases in size as it increases in size is what?
Exponential
Grain size of metamorphic rock increases in the process of .?
Grain size increases in the process of recrystallization.
Which is the ratio of carbon to hydrogen in this series of hydrocarbons as the number of carbons increases?
For alkanes the general chemical formula is CnH2n+2.
How does size change in a period and in a group?
Atomic size decreases across a period as the effective nuclear charge increases. Atomic size increases down a group as the energy level (shells) increases.
What increases when objects molecules increases?
Under constraint (cannot get bigger) then mass increases. Otherwise, size increases.
As the sample size increases the standard deviation of the sampling distribution increases?
No.
How does. Increasing the numerator of a fraction affect its size?
It increases it.
