Carbohydrates are compounds composed of just the 3 elements: carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen; in most cases following the formula Cx(H2O)y giving them their name.
Simple carbohydrates are all simple sugars (e.g. glucose, fructose, galactose, xylose, ribose, deoxyribose). Complex carbohydrates are polymers of simple carbohydrates and fall into 3 categories: complex sugars (e.g. sucrose, lactose, maltose), starches (e.g. corn starch, potato starch), and fiber (e.g. cellulose, pectin, dextrin, lignin).
What else can I help you with?
What 3 elements do all carbon compounds have in common?
There are 2 elements that all the organic compounds have. They are carbon and hydrogen. Most organic compounds contain oxygen.
What is the oxidation number of group 3 elements?
Group 3 elements typically have an oxidation state of +3. This is because they have 3 valence electrons that they can lose to form stable compounds.
What are common compounds for helium?
Common compounds for helium include helium-3 (He-3) and helium-4 (He-4), which are isotopes of helium. Helium is typically chemically inert and does not readily form compounds with other elements under normal conditions.
Which group generally loses 3 valence electrons and are almost always combined with other elements in nature?
Group 13 elements, such as Boron and Aluminum, generally lose 3 valence electrons and form compounds with other elements in nature. They are commonly found in minerals and ores in combination with other elements, due to their tendency to form stable compounds through electron loss.
What are facts about compounds?
1. -are 2 words2. -you use at least 1 every day , unless you dont talk3. - compound words are made up of 2 WORDS THAT ARE MORE THAN 3 LETTERS longexamples are------------ some-times and Web-kinz.com, a websitethere are only 100 or so elements but they can combine in different ways to form many millions of compounds
Besides carbon name 3 other elements that make up most organic compounds?
Three other elements that make up most organic compounds are: 1. NITROGEN 2. HYDROGEN 3. OXYGEN
Are compounds and elements a mixture?
No. Elements, compounds and mixtures are 3 different terms.
What are 3 essential properties of every material?
elements and compounds
Which of the four main organic compounds is the most abundant?
1 protien 2 carbohydrate 3 lipids 4 RNA
What compounds contain Hydrogen Oxygen and Carbon?
Compounds that contain hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon include carbohydrates (e.g., glucose, sucrose), organic acids (e.g., acetic acid, citric acid), and alcohols (e.g., ethanol). These compounds play important roles in biological processes and are common in organic chemistry.
What 3 elements do all carbon compounds have in common?
There are 2 elements that all the organic compounds have. They are carbon and hydrogen. Most organic compounds contain oxygen.
What is the oxidation number of group 3 elements?
Group 3 elements typically have an oxidation state of +3. This is because they have 3 valence electrons that they can lose to form stable compounds.
Carbohydrates are composed of 3 elements. There can be how many carbon atoms?
Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen are the 3 elements of carbohydrates. Sarbjeet Virdi, 9/12/08
What are common compounds for helium?
Common compounds for helium include helium-3 (He-3) and helium-4 (He-4), which are isotopes of helium. Helium is typically chemically inert and does not readily form compounds with other elements under normal conditions.
3 elements most often found in organic compounds?
Carbon, Oxygen, and Hydrogen.
Which group generally loses 3 valence electrons and are almost always combined with other elements in nature?
Group 13 elements, such as Boron and Aluminum, generally lose 3 valence electrons and form compounds with other elements in nature. They are commonly found in minerals and ores in combination with other elements, due to their tendency to form stable compounds through electron loss.
What are some covalent compounds with more than three elements?
Nucleic acids would be one example of a covalent compound with more than 3 elements. Proteins have more than 3 elements as well. Many organic compounds do, it is quite common.
