What molecule has the highest boiling point methane chloromethane or methanol?
methanol
Why are hydrocarbons elements?
Hydrocarbons are not elements; rather, they are compounds (e.g. CH4 is methane).
Is natural gas a hydrocarbon?
Yes a mixture of hydrocarbons, Methane to Butane; mainly Methane CH4 about 94.6%
Are hydrocarbons planar?
depends on the hydrocarbon methane for example is not and benzene is
Is methanol more soluable than methane?
Yes, methanol is CH3OH and methane is CH4. Methanol is polar (because of the O-H bond) and methane is non-polar (because it is a hydrocarbon.) Water (which is polar) will dissolve other polar things, but not non-polar things.

methanol
Why is methanol a hydrocarbon?
because methane is a hydrocarbon!

Why is methane gas and methanol liquid?
Methane is part of a group of organic hydrocarbons called alkanes which have only one carbon atom per molecule CH4, whereas methanol belongs to the alcohol group with an OH, CH3OH. So although they are related in name with meth- only because they contain one Carbon atom in their structure they are two different molecules and have different properties.
Methane belongs to what group of compounds?
methane is a gas at normal temperature. It belongs to the group of Alkanes (hydrocarbons) e.g methane ethane,propane,butane, pentane, hexane, heptane, octane,nonane, decane.....It also smells eggy because the gas dudes put an artificial smell in it so you will realise it is there so you don't implode or explode or just generally diemr happycool(rules)
Why is the enthalpy change of combustion for methanol less negative than methane?
The combustion of methanol to form products of H2O and CO2 do not have as much of an energy change compared to methane and a result methanol releases less energy compared to methane. The more negative an enthalpy change is, the more heat it is going to release.
What is composed of hydrogen and carbon?
Hydrocarbons like methane.
What are examples of hydrocarbons?
Methane, Ethane, Ethene, Ethyne, Propane, Propene, Propyne etc are all examples of hydrocarbon.
Is natural gas a hydrocarbon?
Yes a mixture of hydrocarbons, Methane to Butane; mainly Methane CH4 about 94.6%

Mixture of hydrocarbons that are used for fuels?
I am pretty sure the answer is hydrocarbons.
