False
No. Lipid molecules that are unsaturated have less hydrogen atoms because of carbon-carbon double bonds.
No. Lipids with the maximum number of hydrogen atoms are referred to as saturated.
I will give you all three. Hydrogen, Oxygen, and Carbon. Anything other than a hydrocarbon is a contaminant.
Hydrocarbons are molecules made entirely from hydrogen and oxygen molecules. Some examples include Methane (CH4), Ethane (C2H6), Propane (C3H8), etc.
False
such a hydrocarbon is a saturated compound.
A saturated hydrocarbon is one where all the carbon atoms are bonded to four other atoms. An unsaturated hydrocarbon is one where some of the carbon atoms aren't (an example being an alkene due to the carbon carbon double bond).
No. Lipid molecules that are unsaturated have less hydrogen atoms because of carbon-carbon double bonds.
An unsaturated hydrocarbon is a hydrocarbon containing at least one double or triple bond between carbon atoms. An alkene is a hydrocarbon containing double bonds. An alkyne is a hydrocarbon containing triple bonds. Ethene, C2H4, is an example of an unsaturated hydrocarbon with a double bond. ethyne (acetylene), C2H2 is an example of an unsaturated hydrocarbon with a triple bond. H-C=C-H The names of unsaturated hydrocarbons that have a double bonds end with the suffix -ene. The names of unsaturated hydrocarbons that have a triple bonds end with the suffix -yne.
Saturated hydrocarbon means that it does not have triple or double bonds between carbon atoms. An unsaturated hydrocarbon will have triple or double, or both types of bonds between carbons. You can saturate the unsaturated hydrocarbon by adding hydrogen atoms through a given reaction. -CH=CH- + H2 -----> -CH2-CH2- Saturation does not have to be with hydrogen, it can be with chlorine, Cl2, for example.
Molecules only made up of hydogen and carbon atoms, for example Ethane.
hydrocarbon
No.Hydrocarbon molecules contain hydrogen and carbon atoms.It is carbohydrate molecules that contain hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen atoms.
One, or possibly two, depending on how you want to define "unsaturated". I personally lean towards one. 1 C atom is min. required.
The name hydrocarbon means that the only elements in the compound are hydrogen and carbon. Unsaturated means there are double or triple bonds in the compound. Hydrogen atoms cannot form double or triple bonds, but two carbon atoms can. Thus unsaturated hydrocarbons must have a minimum of two carbon atoms.
Methylbenzene (toluene) is a cyclic hydrocarbon based on the benzene ring (C6H6) with a methyl group (CH3) replacing one of the hydrogens to give C7H8. The benzene ring itself is a rather special kind of hydrocarbon, but is considered to be unsaturated - Therefore, toluene is unsaturated. The saturated equivalent of benzene is cyclohexane (C6H12). The saturated equivalent of toluene is methylcyclohexane, C7H14.
