One molecule has how many atoms of hydrogen?
Answer: Molecules do not necessarily have any hydrogen atoms (e.g. NaCl has only sodium and chlorine and no hydrogen)The lowest number of hydrogens possibly present is one. This occurs in compounds like hydrogen chloride (HCl).Many molecules have two hydrogens, the simplest is hydrogen gas (H2)After this it's open season on hydrogens. Complex hydrocarbons (for example, polyethylene and heavy alkane oils) can have several hundred carbons each with two hydrogens and two extra to cap the ends (general formula : CnHn+2)
How many atoms are there in a molecule of ethylene?
Ethylene (C2H4) has two carbons and four hydrogens making 6 atoms.
Why is a hydrocarbon with 5 to 15 carbon molecules is usually a liquid?
A hydrocarbon only has carbons and hydrogens, all single bonded. The way it is packed makes it hard to stay together at room temperature, so it is a liquid. However, lower temperatures should make it easier for molecules to stay together as it decreases its kinetic energy.
Is a hydrocarbon a molecule?
Hydrocarbons are molecules made entirely from hydrogen and oxygen molecules. Some examples include Methane (CH4), Ethane (C2H6), Propane (C3H8), etc.
If a molecule has 6 carbons and 12 hydrogens is it an alkane alkene or alkyne?
C6H12 may be an alkene or cycloalkane because both have the same general formula CnH2n .
What has to happen in order for a molecule to become saturated?
All of the carbons have to be attached to the maximum amount of hydrogens. So there can only be single bonds between the carbons in order for the molecules to be saturated.
Are saturated fatty acids the principal molecules in lard and butter?
Yes, a long chains of single bonded carbons the are saturated with a full complement of hydrogens.
What is the ratio of Carbons to Hydrogens in a monosaccharide?
It is 1/2.
What does alcohol have in it?
Ethanol has 2 carbons, one oxygen, and 6 hydrogens.
What elements does glucose contain?
Six carbons, twelve hydrogens, and six oxygens.
What is c3h802?
Propylene Glycol: it contains three Carbons, eight Hydrogens, and two Oxygens.
What is the atomic structure of diesel fuel?
12 carbons with 26 hydrogens with NO double bonds
How many C H O are in fructose?
There are 6 carbons, 12 hydrogens, and 6 oxygens in fructose.

What are molecules with three carbons called?
Propane has three carbons and this is it's molecular structure: C3H8.
What is the formula for manganese II acetate?
Mn(II)(C2H3O2)2 That's one Manganeese with charge (+2) with two molecules of acetate (two carbons, three hydrogens, and two oxygens) with a net charge of (-1) per molecule
