What is the name of the parent hydrocarbon of simple aromatic hydrocarbons?
the longest chain of carbons
Which compound is a saturated hydrocarbon?
I'm not positive what you're asking, but I'll try to answer. A hydrocarbon is a carbon chain with hydrogens branching off the carbons. For example, the following is an example of the hydrocarbon butane: CH3CH2CH2CH3. Hey if you want answers that actually work post the letters and answers with the question
What are Unsaturated Hydrocarbons?
Unsaturated hydrocarbon is the name of a type of organic molecule in organic chemistry, that contains a chain of carbons. "Unsaturated" refers to the fact that each of the carbons bonds aren't with 4 separate molecules, but can, instead have double or triple bonds.A hydrocarbon in which valencies of carbon are not satisfied by single covalent bonds are unsaturated hydrocarbons.
What is the name of the organic compound CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3?
First of all look and the number of carbons . In this case it is '8' , so it is 'Oct'. Any one carbon in this molecule can make four single bonds with adjacent carbons and hydrogens , so the suffix is '-ane'. Hence the full name is 'Octane'. Its functional group is an ALKANE , commercially it is an hydrocarbon.
What is the name of the alkane having 3 carbons?
PROPANE. Structurally it is 'CH3-CH2- CH3'. NB #1 The 'prop' moiety indicates that there are three(3) carbons. #2 the 'ane' moiety indicates that it is an Alkane. NNB The root names from Latin for the given number of carbons in the chain are #1 ; meth #2 ; eth #3 ; Prop #4 ; But #5 ; Pent #6 ; Hex #7 ; Hept #8 ; Oct #9 ; Non #10 ; Dec NNB The functional groups are indicated by Alkane ; -Ane ( Single bond between two adjacent carbons) Alkene ; -Ene (Double bond between two adjacent carbons ). Alkyne ; -Yne (Triple bond between two adjacent carbons. ). e.g. PropEne ; CH2=CH-CH3 PropYne ; HC///C-CH3 The indicated capital letter is critical in the correct naming of hydrocarbons.
How does the name of a hydrocarbon tell you whether of not it is saturated?
Alkanes are saturated, so if the hydrocarbon has -ane at the end of it, it is saturated.

What are the different hydrocarbons called with different numbers of carbons?
First of all the basic different hydrocarbons are Alkanes, Alkenes , & Alkynes. Their names end in '-ane', '-ene' and 'yne', respectively. There are more complex hydrocarbons, such as Benzene(Phenyl) & 'Cyclo-', but for the moment I'll omit these. Next the number of carbons in the chain gives the basic name. Meth = 1 carbon Eth = 2 carbons Prop = 3 carbons Buta = 4 carbons Penta = 5 carbons Hexa = 6 carbons Hepta = 7 carbons Octa = 8 carbons Nons = 9 carbons Deca = 10 carbons So a hydrocarbon , with single bonds, and with two carbons is Ethane A hydrocarbons, with one double bond and three carbons is Propene A hydrocarbon, with one triple bond and four carbons is either But-1-yne or But-2-yne , depending on which carbon in the chain the the double/triple bond starts at. Petroleum/Gassoline is Octane. Benzene is a 6 carbon cyclic ring, with ,???three double bonds,. This a unique arrangement. Other cyclic hydrocarbons are ;- Cyclohexane , Cyclohexene. and Cyclohex-1,3-diene. There are many more. Hopefully that gives a little insight in to the nomenclature (naming system) of hydrocarbons; The IUPAC authority have designed the nomenclature so that the name gives all the elements, structure and position of the atoms in organic compounds.
What is the name of the process which long chain carbons are coverted into short chain carbons?
reduction
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

What would a carboxylic acid with 6 carbons in a straight chain be called?
When chemists name compounds, we look at the length of the parent chain (in this case, 6 carbons.) and the functional group(s) (in this case, carboxylic acid). A regular 6C (all single bonds) hydrocarbon is termed "hexane" , the prefix "hex-" denoting the 6 carbons. When naming a compound with the carboxylic acid functional group, we add the suffix "-oic acid". Thus, a 6C carboxylic acid is hexanoic acid
