due to the property of catenation


Which bond is more stable either carbon hydrogen bond or carbon deuterium?

Deuterium-carbon bonds are generally 6-10 times more stable than carbon-hydrogen bond.


What fatty acids have double bonds in the carbon chain whenever the number of hydrogen is less than two per carbon?

A substance or a molecule containing carbon-carbon bonds or carbon-hydrogen bonds?

The presence of carbon or hydrocarbons in a molecule usually means it is an organic molecule. Organic molecules are usually more complex than inorganic molecules.


Why is ethanol solubile in water but propane is not?

In general terms, because (1) the carbon-oxygen and hydrogen-oxygen bonds in ethanol are much more polar than any of the bonds in propane; (2) the oxygen atom in ethanol can form hydrogen bonds with the hydrogen atoms in water, but there is not such possibility with propane; and (3) propane contains more carbon atoms per molecule than ethanol.


Why melting point of ethanoic acid is higher than propanoic acid?

Ethanoic acid is more polar than propanoic acid, as it contains fewer carbon-carbon and carbon-hydrogen bonds.


What to the large numbers of carbon-hydrogen bonds in lipids do?

They either: a) make lipids polar. b) store more energy than the carbon-oxygen bonds in other organic compounds. c) allow lipids to dissolve water. d) are found in the carboxyl group at the end of the lipid. The Answer is: B- Store more energy than the carbon-oxygen bonds in other organic compounds.


Which property of a carbon atom explains why it bonds to four hydrogen atoms in methane (CH4) rather than to three five or some other number of hydrogen atoms?

Carbon is a tetravalent chemical element.


What is the weakest bond type?

It is not covalent, because it is the strongest type. The Correct answer is van der Waals.


Does C2H5OH have hydrogen bonds?

C2H5OH is the formula for ethanol, an organic compound. Hydrogen bonds are possible for ethanol at the intermolecular level, between molecules, but not for the intramolecular carbon-hydrogen or the oxygen-hydrogen bonding within the molecule. Hydrogen bonds are much weaker than true chemical bond.A good example of a hydrogen bond is that which makes water a liquid at normal temperature and pressure.


Covalent bonds are weaker than the hydrogen bonds used to hold water molecules together.?

No, hydrogen bonds are weaker than the covalent O-H bonds.


What do hydrogen and carbon make?

Organic compounds are formed from carbon and hydrogen though sometimes there may be additional elements like oxygen, sulphur etc.carbon and hydrogen generally make hydrocarbon.hydrocarbons are also organic compounds.hydrocarbons are classified as alkanes , alkenes & alkynes.best example for hydrocarbon is methane...
