Do saturated fatty acids have the maximum number of hydrogen atoms?
It depends on the length of the fatty acid chain. A fatty acid that has the maximum number of hydrogen atoms is saturated. The maximum number of hydrogen atoms will occur when the carbon atoms are all single-bonded to one another (no double bonds).
What makes hydrocarbon saturated?
These are compound out of many Carbon and Hydrogen atom,In a single bonded and non cyclic carbon chain with as much as possible (= 'saturated with') single bonded H atoms to the C atoms.
What is the chemical chain that contains carbon hydrogen and oxygen atoms?
It is called a fatty acid.
Why is isomerism not found in propane?
Isomerism is a phenomenon where compounds have the same chemical formula but different structural arrangements. Propane (C3H8) consists of three carbon atoms bonded in a straight chain with eight hydrogen atoms attached. Since there are no other possible ways to arrange the carbon atoms, propane does not exhibit isomerism.
What does the hexane molecule look like?
Hexane is C6H14 and looks like 6 carbon atoms strung in a zigzag line with 2 hydrogen atoms attached at each carbon and an endcap hydrogen atom each at the ends of the chain.
Do saturated fatty acids have the maximum number of hydrogen atoms?
It depends on the length of the fatty acid chain. A fatty acid that has the maximum number of hydrogen atoms is saturated. The maximum number of hydrogen atoms will occur when the carbon atoms are all single-bonded to one another (no double bonds).
A fat is called what if all the fatty acid chains are single bonded to two other carbons and two hydrogens?
If a fatty acid has a completely single-bonded carbon chain with as many hydrogen atoms as possible bound to the chain, it is refered to as a "saturated" fat. It is literally saturated with hydrogen atoms. If the chain has one or more double bonds, those double bonds reduce the number of hydrogen atoms, and so that is an "unsaturated" fat.
What makes hydrocarbon saturated?
These are compound out of many Carbon and Hydrogen atom,In a single bonded and non cyclic carbon chain with as much as possible (= 'saturated with') single bonded H atoms to the C atoms.
Which molecule is propane?
imagine 2 carbon atoms bonded with 3 hydrogen atoms on each side this is for ethane and for propane imagine 3 carbon atoms bonded with hydrogen on each them.dont get confused by its molecular formula of C3H8
What chemically makes a carbon chain unsaturated?
hydrogen atoms
What compounds have the maximum possible number of hydrogen atoms on its carbon chain?
Alkanes have the most possible number of hydrogen atoms with respect to the carbon again.
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.
What is the science behind polyethylene bonding?
Polyethylene (C20H40) has single bonds from twenty carbon atoms to forty hydrogen atoms. It is a polymer chain of ten linked ethylene (C2H4) monomers, which have two carbon atoms and four hydrogen atoms. In an ethylene monomer, the two carbons are double bonded to themselves, while the hydrogens are single bonded to the carbons. When the ethylene monomers link to form Polyethylene, however, the bonds turn into all single bonds.
Which element forms the backbone of all organic molecules?
Carbon. Organic molecules are usually made up of carbon chains or rings, with hydrogen atoms bonded to most bond sites. The molecules are distinguished by the length of the chain, the number of double or triple carbon-carbon bonds, and the other elements or ligands that might be bonded to the carbon chain or ring.
A molecule that is short of hydrogen atoms and has a double bond is?
A molecule this is short of hydrogen atoms and has a double bond is H2CCH-. The Lewis structure would be Two H's bonded to a C atom, double bonded to another C atom single bonded to one H. The second C atom has a -1 formal charge.
What is the difference between a saturaded and unsaturaded fatty acid?
The difference between a saturated and unsaturated fatty acid are the number of hydrogen atoms and double carbon bonds in the fatty acid chain. A saturated fatty acid has no carbon double bonds, two hydrogen atoms for each carbon atom along the chain and three for the carbon atom at each end. In an unsaturated fatty acid chain some of the hydrogen atoms are replaced by a double bond between neighboring carbon atoms. Mon-unsaturated and poly-unsaturated fatty acids differ in the number of double carbon bonds in the chain, and thus the total number of hydrogen atoms.
Do organic compounds have a living bond?
Organic compounds are molecules that contain carbon atoms covalently bonded to hydrogen atoms (C-H bonds). Many organic compounds are formed from chains of covalently-linked carbon atoms with hydrogen atoms attached to the chain (a hydrocarbon backbone). You can use the virtual screening(VS) provided by CD Computabio to observe the movement and bonding sites of molecules.
