Is C2 considered a molecule or a compound?
It would be a molecule. It cannot be considered a compound because it contains atoms of only one element.
Is the charge on a diatomic molecule called the oxidation number?
No. The oxidation number is the charge on the atom of an element, or if the bonding is covalent, what that charge would be if that bonding were ionic. A "molecule" with an electrical charge would be a polyatomic ion, not a molecule.
Is C12H22 saturated or unsaturated?
The basis for its saturation is a hydrocarbon with the general formula:- CnH2n+2 If a compound does not satisfy this, then it is unsaturated. Thus here 'n' = 12 Thus with 12 Carbon atoms present in the molecule, to be saturated, would need 26 Hydrogen atoms (C12H26). C12H22 is therefore unsaturated and will have 4 Carbon to Carbon double bonds in it.
Would a substance with an iodine number of zero be considered saturated or unsaturated?
unsaturated
What are small Particles that make up all substances?
If the substance is an element, the smallest will be an atom. If it is a compound, then that would be a molecule.
What element would need to be removes from the molecule to make it unsaturated?
Hydrogen
Which element would need to be removed from a saturated fatty acid to make it unsaturated?
Hydrogen
Which element would have to be removed to make a fat unsaturated?
The fat would have to lose a hydrogen atom. [So it would have a double bond between two carbon atoms]
What type of triglyceride would vegetable oil be?
Since triglyceride is just a fancy word for one fat molecule, the answer would be unsaturated.
Five carbon atom with one double bond?
One type of molecule would be the unsaturated hydrocarbon pentene, there are number of isomers of this compound.
What does the element DO stand for?
There is no ELEMENT with the symbol "DO" however, it would be the molecule which is one atom of deuterium (D) and one atom of oxygen (O). Deuterium is an isotope of hydrogen. This molecule would be called deuterium oxide.
If two phosphate were removed from ATP the remaining molecule would be?
Adenosine Monophosphate
What are free elements?
A free element would be any atom that is not part of a molecule.
Is C2 considered a molecule or a compound?
It would be a molecule. It cannot be considered a compound because it contains atoms of only one element.
Matter in which all atoms are alike?
It is an element or a compound, it belongs to the order of pure matter.
Is the charge on a diatomic molecule called the oxidation number?
No. The oxidation number is the charge on the atom of an element, or if the bonding is covalent, what that charge would be if that bonding were ionic. A "molecule" with an electrical charge would be a polyatomic ion, not a molecule.
