Want this question answered?
Hydrocarbons are molecules comprised of only carbon and hydrogen.
Alkanes alkanes and alkynes
Hydrocarbons are molecules comprised of only carbon and hydrogen. They can be linear like hexane They can be branched like 3-Methylpentane They can be circular like cyclohexane
They are either straight, ring-shaped, or branched. I was stuck on that, until i found the answers. (: Hope this helps bunches!~heretohelp
Hydrogen and carbon, of course!
In relation to chemistry, hydrocarbons are defined as an organic compound where carbon and hydrogen is found. Hydrocarbons found on planet earth occur in crude oil.
simple as it may seem, Hydrogen and Carbon
Hydrocarbons, used in organic chemistry, are molecules that contain only hydrogen and carbon. Hydrocarbons include alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes, as well as cycloalkanes and other aromatic hydrocarbons. They can be found in a very incredible amount of substances. Here's a good source to look at for different products that contain hydrocarbons: (See related Link)
Gasoline and fossil fuels are hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons are composed of the hydrogen (H), oxygen (O) and carbon (C). MTBE and ethanol components to gasoline are also hydrocarbons.
Hydrocarbons = Molecules containing only carbon and hydrogen - Are major components of fossil fuels produced from the organic remains of organisms living millions of years ago, though they are not prevalent in living organisms. - Have a diversity of carbon skeletons which produce molecules of various lengths and shapes. - As in hydrocarbons, a carbon skeleton is the framework for the large diverse organic molecules found in living organisms. Also, some biologically important molecules may have regions consisting of hydrocarbon chains (e.g. fats). - Hydrocarbon chains are hydrophobic because the C-C and C-H bonds are nonpolar.
Ethane and heptane are hydrocarbons (chemical compounds containing hydrogen and carbon, most notably from decomposition of carbohydrates). Paraffin wax is a mixture of hydrocarbons, also found as an oily liquid.
molecules containing long chains of carbon atoms are found on living things.
