Which hydrocarbon rings are most common in nature?
Rings with 5 or 6 carbon atoms
Is methanol an aromatic hydrocarbon?
Yes. It is a polycyclic aromatic. A white solid, it consists of two benzene rings "fused" together, sharing two carbon atoms. It has a formula of C10H8. It has a distinctive smell, and is traditionally used as "mothballs".
Do lipids have simple sugar sub units?
Remember there are many different kinds of lipids (fatty acids, soaps, waxes, phospholipids, etc) but as far as the dietary fatty acids, the answer is No. Triglycerides (dietary fat) are composed of 3 fatty acid chains bound to glycerol. Fatty acids are carbon chains and glycerol is 3 carbons each with an OH alcohol. An ester bond attaches each fatty acid to glycerol. As far as energy metabolism, it can be seen that carbon and oxygen are the main substituents of energy. Even "simple sugar sub-units" are carbon rings, and during glycolysis these carbon rings are opened and broken apart to be used in the TCA cycle and other ways for energy production.
How many rings does a helium atom have?
I assume you mean energy levels/shells. It has 1.
What is the difference between aromatic and aliphatic compounds?
Aliphatic compounds could be straight chain structures [Acyclic] like alkanes or cyclic structures, like cycloalkanes. Aliphatic compounds are hydrocarbon chains - strings of carbon atoms connected to each other with hydrogen atoms hanging off the sides of the chain. one exception for the definition of aliphatic side chain is Proline which also has aliphatic side chain but the its side chain is bonded to both carbon and nitrogen. Aromatic compounds have benzene ring (older notion). Aromatic compounds are those which follow Huckel's rule. (4n + 2pi) rule. They have the general formula: CnH2n-6 [where n is equal to or greater than 6] Aromatic compounds are rings - so take the chain and connect the two ends together to form a continuous loop.

Rings with 5 or 6 carbon atoms
Is sugar an fatty food?
Technically, sugar is not "fatty". A fat molecule is comprised of long hydrocarbon chains connected by a glycerol molecule. Sugar, on the other hand, is comprised of short oxidized hydrocarbon rings that are very easy for the body to digest. The drawbacks of consuming sugar are that since it is so easy to digest the body uses it quickly increasing your energy level, but after it wheres off the energy crash is very inconvenient. Also, sugar sometimes encourages the growth of bad bacteria.
What is a bicyclobutane?
A bicyclobutane is a bicyclic hydrocarbon consisting of two separate cyclobutane rings joined by a single bond, or a highly strained, bicyclic hydrocarbon consisting of two fused cyclopropane rings.
Can carbon rings can bond together in straight chains branched chains or rings?
yes
Can carbon atoms bond together in straight chains bonded chains or rings?
yes
Which element has the ability to form rings and chains?
nitrogern
An element whose atoms can make straight chains branched chains and rings chains?
Carbon. Your welcome :)
Element that joins varity of rings and chains?
This element is carbon.
Cholesterol is made up of?
Cholesterol is classified as a sterol, and is made up of a hydrocarbon tail, four hydrocarbon rings (making it a steroid), and a hydroxyl group (making it an alcohol).
What is an acene?
An acene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon containing a rectilinear arrangement of fused benzene rings.
What is acene?
An acene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon containing a rectilinear arrangement of fused benzene rings.
What shapes do hydrocarbons NOT form?
Carbon atoms can form straight chains, branched chains, and rings. They do NOT form geodesic domes.
