Why does nt water and oil mix?
Water and oil does not mix because water is molecule and oil is made of hydrocarbon chains. Only molecule substances can mix with molecule solutes.
What is a hydrocarbon chain called when it is bent?
Bent hydrocarbon chains are called BRANCHED CHAIN.
What is a ether?
What scientists thought was in the empty parts of space, until Einstein corrected them. Or an ether can refer to an organic molecule in which two hydrocarbon chains are bonded to an oxygen atom.
Is short carbon chains of hydrocarbon easier to flow or long?
A hydrocarbon composed of short carbon chains will ignite more easily, just think how flammable petrol is!
Do hydrocarbon long chains have a high or low boiling point?
High
Is B6 fat-soluble?
B6 is water soluble not fat soluble. if you would look at a Lewis structure for it, you would find that it has multiple hydrogen bonds (OH) which makes it a water soluble. a fat soluble would be a non polar molecule containing hydrocarbon chains (CH3)
Is fat an element or a compound?
Fat is a fairly complicated compound: it is composed of a glycerin molecule with 3 fatty acid molecules attached. Each of the fatty acid molecules is composed of a carboxylic acid molecule and a hydrocarbon polymer molecule chain. The hydrocarbon polymer molecule chains can be of any length and either flexible or rigid. The hydrocarbon polymer molecule chains will likely be different in each of the 3 fatty acid molecules in a given fat molecule.
Why does nt water and oil mix?
Water and oil does not mix because water is molecule and oil is made of hydrocarbon chains. Only molecule substances can mix with molecule solutes.
What is a nonpolar organic molecule?
It is a molecule that is made up of hydrocarbon chains that have no net overall dipole moment. This molecule is immiscible with any polar substances. It hence establishes a phase of its own on top of the polar medium. P.Dee.
What is a hydrocarbon chain called when it is bent?
Bent hydrocarbon chains are called BRANCHED CHAIN.
Is water soluble in dichloromethane?
Dichloromethane is not soluble in water. Dichloromethane does not have any functional groups or elements that would allow hydrogen bonding with water to occur. It is in fact a polar molecule but it still cannot dissolve a polar molecule like water because no hydrogen bonding can occur. Mostly only organics dissolve in DCM, such as hexanes and other hydrocarbon chains
What is a ether?
What scientists thought was in the empty parts of space, until Einstein corrected them. Or an ether can refer to an organic molecule in which two hydrocarbon chains are bonded to an oxygen atom.

Do hydrocarbon long chains have a high or low boiling point?
High
Is the most complex organic molecules are hydrocarbon chains with nothing else attached?
The simplest organic molecules are hydrocarbon chains. methane CH4, ethane H3C-CH3, Propane H3C-CH2-CH3, etc....
What are short hydrocarbon chains useful for?
Those are gas compounds. We can use it as a fuel.
What are the fats that are made up of glycerol and three hydrocarbon chains known as?
Triglyceride
