One Carbon can form four single covalent bonds with Hydrogen atoms.
Think of this as H2C3H2 or HC3H3 As carbon is tetravalent and hydrogen is monovalent there must be either two hydrogens bonded to a carbon that is double bonded to another that is double bonded to the third which has the remaining hydrogens double bonded. Otherwise this must be a hydrogen bonded to a carbon that is triple bonded to another carbon which is single bonded to the third carbon which is bound to three hydrogens.
Pentane has five carbon atoms, so it will have 12 hydrogens attached to these carbon atoms. Additionally, pentane has two hydrogens at the ends of the molecule, giving a total of 14 hydrogens.
Almost all of the compounds of carbon are formed by covalent bonding. Compounds such as diamond and graphite show strict covalent character in bonding.
In an alkane, each carbon atom is bonded to 4 hydrogen atoms. So, the number of hydrogens in an alkane can be determined by the formula 2n+2, where n is the number of carbon atoms in the alkane.
The hydrogens in propane are sp3 hybridized. Each hydrogen atom is bonded to a carbon atom, which forms four sigma bonds in a tetrahedral geometry, leading to sp3 hybridization for the hydrogens.

2 hydrogens 1 oxygen
Pentane has five carbon atoms, so it will have 12 hydrogens attached to these carbon atoms. Additionally, pentane has two hydrogens at the ends of the molecule, giving a total of 14 hydrogens.
Four. A terminal carbon in an alkane is bonded to 3 hydrogens and 1 carbon, while a middle carbon is bonded to 2 hydrogens and 2 carbons.
The IUPAC name for this product is propane-1-2-3-triol.Propane's formula is C3H8. Link three carbon atoms into a chain then attach a hydrogen atom at every open bonding site, and you have propane. If you were to peel off three of those hydrogens, one from each carbon, stick oxygen atoms where they once were, and put the hydrogens back, you would have glycerol.
Thhara are four H etoms.Centre atom is Carbon
Almost all of the compounds of carbon are formed by covalent bonding. Compounds such as diamond and graphite show strict covalent character in bonding.
Methane has a chemical formula of CH4. this means that it has one carbon with 4 hydrogens. As you see it is mainly hydrogen, but the carbon weighs more than the 4 hydrogens.
In an alkane, each carbon atom is bonded to 4 hydrogen atoms. So, the number of hydrogens in an alkane can be determined by the formula 2n+2, where n is the number of carbon atoms in the alkane.
The hydrogens in propane are sp3 hybridized. Each hydrogen atom is bonded to a carbon atom, which forms four sigma bonds in a tetrahedral geometry, leading to sp3 hybridization for the hydrogens.
A fat molecule is made of a chain of carbon atoms making a "backbone" and a bunch of hydrogens along the outside. In a saturated fat, the carbon backbone has the maximum number of hydrogens it can accept. In an unsaturated fat, the carbon backbone has made one or more double bonds within the backbone and so have less than the maximum number of hydrogens around the outside.
Methane is CH4. This means that there is 1 CARBON and 4 HYDROGENs.
