Bent hydrocarbon chains are called BRANCHED CHAIN.

Yes an aliphatic hydrocarbon chain with an OH group on is called an alcohol - if it is an aromatic hydrocarbon it can often be called a phenol
and what would happen?
Hexane is a straight chain hydrocarbon

A substituted hydrocarbon created from a hydrocarbon chain is by replacing at least one hydrogen atom with an atom of another element.
Typically the shorter the carbon chain, the LESS viscous the hydrocarbon. The longer the chain, the MORE viscous the hydrocarbon. For example consider the viscosity and molecular size in: Gasoline < Diesel < Motor Oil < Tar Viscosity increases with the molecular size and length of hydrocarbon chain.
it looks like chain
Yes
A hydrocarbon that is very viscous and not very flammable is made of a long chain hydrocarbon.
The difference between a hydrocarbon and a fatty acid is that a fatty acid is a hydrocarbon chain with a carboxylic acid head.
A chain hydrocarbon has a long molecule containing only carbon and hydrogen.
