Why does hexane and cyclohexane the same number of carbons but have different numbers of hydrogens?

Hexane is linear and contains all single bonds. Cyclohexane is in a ring and contains carbons linked in a circle, therefore, each carbon already has two bonds, there is no terminal carbon that requires 3 hydrogen.

What is the atomic weight of propane?
Propane doesn't have an, atomic number. Atomic numbers are reserved for elements. It is a alkane molecule with 3 Carbons and 8 Hydrogens (C3H8). H H H | | | H--C---C---C--H | | | H H H
How many carbons are in dna?
That depends on how big your DNA is. Given that there are 10 carbons each per adenosine, guanosine, and thymidine and 9 carbons per cytidine.... which means there are 20 carbons per A-T basepair, and 19 carbons per G-C basepair... assuming the genome is 50% GC, that would mean an average of 19.5 carbons per base pair. The human genome is roughly 3 billion basepairs long... so I'd estimate in round numbers that there are about 58.5 billion carbon atoms in the genomic DNA of a single human cell.
How is the way in which carbon atoms bond to each other important for the number of carbon-based compounds?
Hydrocarbons are molecules consisting of/containing only atoms of carbon and hydrogen. There are many different kinds of hydrocarbons based on different numbers of carbon atoms in the molecules and whether or not any of the carbons are connected by double bonds rather than single bonds.
Form of an element having different atomic and number of neutrons?
Isotopes have different numbers of electrons, but not different atomic numbers (numbers of protons) or they'd be different elements.
What do the numbers represent in CH2?
-CH2- There is one carbon (C) and two hydrogens (H) in this methylene group. It is part of another group and considered the function group.
Is methanol and methanal an isomer?
NO!!! Methanol is an alcohol (H3C-O-H) Methanal is an aldehyde. (HC-H(=O). They cannot be isomers because they have a different number of 'hydrogens' for the given numbers of 'carbons'.
How many atoms are in the compound c6h12po6?
C6H12PO6 has: 6 carbons (C), 12 hydrogens(H), 1 phosphorus(P) and 6 oxygens(O). Add the numbers and you will get the total number of atoms in this molecule; a total of 25.
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 molecular formula for cyclohexane?
The chemical formula for cyclohexane is C6H12 - It is not an equation, as by definition an equation would need two things that equate to each other (For example 2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O would be a chemical equation as each side is balanced). Cyclohexane is a hexagonal ring-shaped structure.
Why does supreme gasoline last longer than the others?
It doesn't. All gasoline is a mixture of hydrocarbon molecules (carbons and hydrogens). The difference between the various 'names' of the gasoline mixtures is the number of carbons and hydrogens in the mixture. When comparing each different mixture to the pure mixture of octane and heptane you determine the octane of the gasoline and come up with the numbers you see at the pumps, for example 87,89,93 or regular, supreme, ect. With that being said, all cars have a fixed ratio of gas that is dropped into the cylinder during compression. No matter what kind of gasoline you put in your car it is going to burn the same amount of gasoline each time your pistons turn.
What is the atomic weight of propane?
Propane doesn't have an, atomic number. Atomic numbers are reserved for elements. It is a alkane molecule with 3 Carbons and 8 Hydrogens (C3H8). H H H | | | H--C---C---C--H | | | H H H
What is hydrogens oxidation numbers?
+1 is most common in many compounds. -1 in metal hydrides and hydrocarbons

Sum of oxidation number of all the carbons in C6H5CHO?
This is a organic compound. Carbon shows +2 ,+3 and 0 as numbers.

What are different names for Numbers?
The different names for Numbers are defined as Natural numbers, whole numbers , real numbers, decimal numbers, integers, rational numbers and irrational numbers.
Why does bromine have different mass numbers?
Bromine isotopes have different mass numbers because their atoms have different numbers of neutrons.
