Is straight chain is more viscous than branched chain?
A straight chain hydrocarbon has two carbons that are bonded to only one other carbon (the terminal carbons). A branched chain hydrocarbon has more than two carbons that are bonded to only one other carbon (the terminal carbons at the ends of each branch). A cycloalkane (cyclic hydrocarbon) has no carbons that are bonded to only one carbon - the chain is hooked back to itself.
Is octane a saturate carbon?
Octane is any hydrocarbon made of 8 carbons, it can be saturated, unsaturated, branched, cyclic, etc.
What is meant by unsaturated hydrocarbon?
a hydrocarbon that has double bond or triple bond between two carbons
How many carbons does pentane have on iys structure?
pentane has five carbons
What does the name 2-butene tell you about this hydrocarbon's molecular structure?
It tell you that is contains 4 carbons (from the "-but" prefix) and it has 1 double bond (from the "ene") and that this double bond is located at the #2 carbon (from the 2). So, it looks like this:CH3CH=CHCH3

How many carbons does butane have on iys structure?
butane has four carbons
How many carbons does pentane have on iys structure?
pentane has five carbons
What is the name of a saturated straight-chain hydrocarbon with 2 carbons?

What is hydrocarbon and its function?
Hydro carbons are compounds with H and C only.Many petroleum fuels are Hydrocarbons.
The most common number of carbons in fatty acid hydrocarbon chains of membrane phospholipids?
19
Is methanol a saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon?
No, because hydrocarbons consist of only hydrogens and carbons. The suffix "-amine" means that there is a nitrogen somewhere in the formula.
A saturated straight-chain hydrocarbon with two carbons is?
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.
