What is the maximum number of electron pairs that can be shared between two adjacent carbonds?
The maximum number of bonds made between adjacent carbons is 3. So the maximum number of electron pairs is 3.
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.
Why is the number of hydrogen atoms in cylcohexane two less than in a hexane?
Cyclo prefix indicates that the carbons are not a straight chain but is in a circle. the bonds between carbons to form the circle requires 2 less possible bonds for hydrogen.
Fatty acids with double bonds between carbons are described to be?
Fatty acids with double bonds between some of their carbons are referred to as unsaturated fatty acids. These fatty acids tend be remain in liquid form at room temperature.
A carbon atom in an alkane has a total of how many bonds?
Carbons always have four bonds in four distinct electron densities shaped like a tetrahedron in a saturated alkane.
What is the difference in the bonding between carbons atom in carbon dioxide and butane?
Butane has bonds between carbon atoms.Carbon dioxide hasn't bonds between carbon atoms.
What does partially hydrogenated peanut butter oil do?
Some oils have unsaturated double bonds in their carbon chain; that is, these carbons aren't holding the maximum amount of hydrogen atoms they can. Hydrogenation is the process of adding hydrogen atoms to these carbons so that they are at maximum capacity, or "saturation."
A fatty acid tail that contains all single bonds between carbons?
Saturated fat
Why are the shapes of the lipid molecules different between saturated and unsaturated fats?
Because the unsaturated fats contains double bonds between some of the carbons, saturated fats only contain single bonds between all of the carbons. The double bonding gives the molecules a different goemetry.
What type of bonds does ethane have?
Ethane has one single bond between the two carbon atoms and 6 single bonds between the the carbons and hydrogens.
Do alkenes have double bonds between hydrogen atoms?
An alkene such as propene has 1 double bond. An alkene can also have many single bonds. In Dodecene for example there are 12 carbons. Two of the carbons are linked by a double bond and all the others by single bonds. In addition, the carbon-hydrogen bonds are all single bonds too.
What are the maximum number of bonds that can be farmed for each group in the peridic table?
8 maximum number
