Is carbon monoxide an example of an alkane?
No. An alkane is a compound of carbon and hydrogen. Carbon monoxide consists of carbon and oxygen.
Why does a 4 carbon linear alkane have two more hydrogen atoms than a 4 carbon cyclic alkane?
octet rule
Organic compound of carbon and hydrogen connected only by single bonds is an?
Alkane
What is formula for alkane?
any alkane consists of a string of carbon molecules with covalent SINGLE bonds between adjacent carbon atoms. The carbon atoms are then single bonded to two hydrogen atoms each, and the carbon atoms on the end of the chain that are only bonded to one other carbon atom each get 3 hydrogens. so an alkane with 2 carbons gets 6 hydrogen, an alkane with 3 carbons gets 8, an alkane with 4 carbons gets 10, etc. So the formula is CnH2n+2. This means if you have 'n' carbon atoms in the alkane, you have 2n+2 hydrogen atoms.
What is lowest molicular formula of alkane which contains one chiral carbon?
2-ethylpentane as it the carbon carbon atom in the pentane backbone has four different groups such as -H, -CH3, -CH2-CH3 and -CH2-CH2-CH3. The molecule is still an alkane because it does not have any double bonds and is made of just carbon and hydrogen.
What do halogen atoms attach to to create alkyl halides?
An alkane. Hence the name alkyl. An alkane is a chain of carbon atoms bonded to each other with single bonds, with hydrogen atoms filling the remainder of the bonds. One hydrogen atom is replaced by a halogen to form an alkyl halide.
Is carbon monoxide an example of an alkane?
No. An alkane is a compound of carbon and hydrogen. Carbon monoxide consists of carbon and oxygen.
How many Hydrogen atoms are in an Alkane with 16 Carbon atoms?
A non cyclic alkane always has a number of hydrogen atoms equal to 2c + 2, where c is the number of carbon atoms. Therefore, hexadecane, an alkane with 16 carbon atoms, will have 34 hydrogen atoms.
What is the molecular formula for a 18 carbon alkane?
This alkane is n-octadecane with the chemical formula C18H38.
Why does a 4 carbon linear alkane have two more hydrogen atoms than a 4 carbon cyclic alkane?
octet rule
Is hydrogen an alkane?
No, hydrogen is an element. Alkanes are a class of compounds containing both hydrogen and carbon.
An alkane with 3 carbon atoms would have how many hydrogen atoms in the molecule?
The generic formula for an alkane is CnH(2n + 2).Therefore, an alkane with 3 carbon atoms would have 8 hydrogen atoms.
Chemical compound also known as paraffin consisting of carbon and hydrogen?
Alkane.
Organic compound of carbon and hydrogen connected only by single bonds is an?
Alkane
An alkane is defined by?
In Science an alkane is a paraffin, an organic compound and is a saturated hydrocarbon. Made up of only carbon and hydrogen atoms.
How many hydrogens are present on an alkane with 20 carbons?
An alkane with n carbon atoms has 2n + 2 hydrogen atoms.So, 42.
How many total hydrogen atoms would be in a five carbon noncyclical alkane?
Alkanes are CnH2n+2, so for 5 carbon alkane, n = 10+2 =12 or 12 hydrogen atoms. It would be like this..CH3CH2CH2CH2CH3
