What are the roots for hydrocarbons containing two three and four carbon atoms?

For hydrocarbons with two carbon atoms: ethane For hydrocarbons with three carbon atoms: propane For hydrocarbons with four carbon atoms: butane


The chemical properties of substituted hydrocarbons are not different than the properties of the original hydrocarbons?

The chemical properties of substituted hydrocarbons can differ from the original hydrocarbons due to the presence of functional groups. Functional groups can affect properties such as boiling point, reactivity, and solubility, leading to distinct chemical behaviors in substituted hydrocarbons compared to their non-substituted counterparts.


Are products made from petroleum called hydrocarbons?

No, products made from petroleum are generally referred to as petrochemicals, not hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons are organic compounds made up of hydrogen and carbon atoms, which are typically found in petroleum and natural gas.


Are alcohols saturated hydrocarbons?

No, alcohols are not saturated hydrocarbons. Alcohols contain a hydroxyl (-OH) functional group, which is not present in saturated hydrocarbons. Saturated hydrocarbons consist only of carbon-carbon single bonds and carbon-hydrogen bonds.


Are butane and isobutane substituted hydrocarbons if not what are they?

Butane and isobutane are both alkane hydrocarbons. They are not substituted hydrocarbons, as they contain only carbon and hydrogen atoms in their structure. Substituted hydrocarbons would have other elements or functional groups replacing some of the hydrogen atoms in the molecule.
