What is a molecule containing only carbon and hydrogen called?
A hydrocarbon.
Why does organic compound have low melting point?
They usually are long "chains" of hydrocarbon that only attracted to the weakest intermolecular bonds. Bonds between molecules are generally weaker so they tend to melt faster when compare to the melting point of stronger intermolecular bonded molecules.
Which carbohydrates are molecules?
Carbohydrates molecules are made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. If it had only carbon and hydrogen (and no oxygen) it would be called a hydrocarbon.
Do hydrocarbon molecules always contain hydrogen carbon and oxygen atoms?
No.Hydrocarbon molecules contain hydrogen and carbon atoms.It is carbohydrate molecules that contain hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen atoms.
What molecule only contains carbon and hydrogen?
Methane is one. Molecules that contain only carbon and hydrogen are called hydrocarbons.
Are short hydrocarbon molecules volatile?
Short-chain hydrocarbon molecules excluding methane and ethane are considered to be volatile organic compounds. Generally this is defined as the range from propane to octane,
Does longer hydrocarbon molecules have higher boiling points than short hydrocarbon molecules?
yes
What small hydrocarbon molecules form polymers?
Monomers are small hydrocarbon molecules that form polymers.
What are two types of detergent molecule?
The most probable type of a molecules in the detergents is the hydrocarbon molecules and the sodium molecules. The sodium molecules binds to water while the hydrocarbon molecule binds to grease.
What is achieved in the process of cracking?
For anyone who has seen the previous answer ignore the immature remark. "Fuels made from oil mixtures containing large hydrocarbon molecules are not efficient. They do not flow easily and are difficult to ignite. Crude oil often contains too many large hydrocarbon molecules and not enough small hydrocarbon molecules to meet demand - this is where cracking comes in. Cracking allows large hydrocarbon molecules to be broken down into smaller, more useful hydrocarbon molecules. Fractions containing large hydrocarbon molecules are vaporized and passed over a hot catalyst. This breaks chemical bonds in the molecules, and forms smaller hydrocarbon molecules. Cracking is an example of a thermal decomposition reaction." Sources:http://www.bbc.co.uk.education2020.us/
What is the biggest hydrocarbon?
Amino acids are the largest hydrocarbon molecules. However on our planet they are able to link to each other and form protein molecules.
What elements are present in hydrocarbon molecules?
Carbon and Hydrogen
Do short hydrocarbon molecules flow easily?
yes
When the carbon atoms in hydrocarbon molecules are bonded to as many hydrogen atoms as possible is an unsaturated hydrocarbon is produced?
False
Why is hydrocarbon important?
it makes smaller molecules which is more useful.
What is a hydrocarbon mitigation agent?
hydrocarbon mitigation agent encapsulates hydrocarbon molecules on contact, thus enabling responders to extinguish Class A and Class B (hydrocarbon) fires. As hydrocarbon molecules become encapsulated, the LEL (Lower Explosion Limit) will immediately decline and, with proper agitation, will register "0." Application of BioSolve also facilitates roadway cleanup, removing oil sheen that creates a driving hazard.
Is the most complex organic molecules are hydrocarbon chains with nothing else attached?
The simplest organic molecules are hydrocarbon chains. methane CH4, ethane H3C-CH3, Propane H3C-CH2-CH3, etc....
