What is the most volatile element besides the hydrocarbons?
I can tell you one thing for certain: hydrocarbons aren't elements. They're made of hydrogen and carbon, both of which are elements themselves.
Energy- rich chemical compounds that contains carbon and hydrogen atoms are callled?
In organic chemistry, those compounds are called hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons can be found in the form of gases, liquids, waxes, and polymers.
What are compounds containing both hydrogen and carbon called?
Compounds that contain only hydrogen and carbon are called hydrocarbons. There are many of these, saturated hydrocarbons are termed alkanes, examples range from methane CH4 the smallest to polymers such as polythene (C2H4)n , others include the unsaturated hydrocarbons with double or triple bonds (alkenes and alkynes) such as ethylene C2H4, acetylene C2H2
How do you have one eye one color and the other eye another color?
Most humans will have colored eyes, the exception is albinos. Therefore the fact that two humans are twins will not stop them having colored eyes.
What are compounds that contain only carbon and hydrogen atoms?
Many compounds are composed of only carbon and hydrogen. These are the core of the group called hydrocarbons. They include compounds such as:methaneoctanepentanebenzenetoluenexylene
Are products made from petroleum called hydrocarbons?
Products made form petroleum are called hydrocarbons. Petroleum and natural gas are where most hydrocarbons come from. Hydrocarbons are entirely made from crude oils.
What kind of rocks make up most of the igneous group?
Basalt and other dark colored igneous rocks are the most with % of 66% and granite and other light to medium colored igneous rocks fill the other half with 44%
Are most hydrocarbon compounds hydrophobic?
Yes. hydrocarbons are generally hydrophobic as hydrocarbons are non-polar and water is polar.
Is food hydrocarbons?
No, but foods can contain some hydrocarbons. While most hydrocarbons are toxic to humans, one form in particular is used in many food preparations: paraffin wax.
Caulobacter are different from most bacteria in that?
Caulobacter have stalks whereas most other types of bacteria do not.
How is the shuttle different from most space crafts?
It is reusable whereas most other spacecraft isn't.
When fuel is consumed most of the energy is changed into what?
Hydrocarbons
What are two examples of hydrocarbons?
Ethane and heptane are hydrocarbons (chemical compounds containing hydrogen and carbon, most notably from decomposition of carbohydrates). Paraffin wax is a mixture of hydrocarbons, also found as an oily liquid.
What are the solutes that are non polar?
Most hydrocarbons are non-polar.
Most fuels are hydrocarbons. what does this mean?
hydrocarbons are carbon chains with hydrogen (and hydrogen only) bonded to them. So, most fuels are carbon chains with hydrogen bonded to them. Octane (gasoline) is C8H18
What are examples of hydrocarbons?
Methane, Ethane, Ethene, Ethyne, Propane, Propene, Propyne etc are all examples of hydrocarbon.
What kind of compound is an oil?
Most oils are mixtures of many different compounds, most of which are hydrocarbons.
