What is the abbreviation of hydrocarbon?
The abbreviation for hydrocarbon is HC.
Is H3C-CH2OH a hydrocarbon or functionalized hydrocarbon?
first you need to know that what is a hydrocarbon .A hydrocarbon is a covalent compound in which only carbon and hydrogen is present . Now you can see that in CH3-CH2OH a functional group OH i.e. alcohol. so you got your answer that H3C-CH2OH is a functionalized hydrocarbon.
Is acetone a hydrocarbon?
No, acetone is not a hydrocarbon. It is a type of organic compound known as a ketone.
What is a molecule containing only carbon and hydrogen called?
A hydrocarbon.
What type of intermolecular forces exist in a hydrocarbon?
Hydrocarbons typically exhibit London dispersion forces as the predominant intermolecular force due to the presence of nonpolar carbon-carbon and carbon-hydrogen bonds. Additionally, larger hydrocarbons can also exhibit weak van der Waals forces. Overall, the intermolecular forces in hydrocarbons are relatively weak compared to compounds with polar covalent bonds.
What is the intermolecular forces present in C3H8?
The only intermolecular forces in this long hydrocarbon will be dispersion forces.
How is petroleum broken apart into its constituent products?
it is boiled and ran into a distillation column
Explain how the size of hydrocarobon molecules affects the strength of intermolecular forces?
The larger the hydrocarbon molecule, the greater the surface area available for van der Waals forces to act upon, leading to stronger intermolecular forces. Larger molecules have more electrons that can participate in these forces, increasing the overall strength of attraction between molecules. Smaller hydrocarbon molecules have less surface area and fewer electrons available for interaction, resulting in weaker intermolecular forces.
What type of reaction is cracking an example of?
Thermal Decomposition
Why is cracking useful?
cracking is useful because large hydrocarbon molecules are broken into smaller ones. And these are needed for petrol and are more reactive.
What is a broken forest?
A forest is broken when it has been severely affected by the forces of nature, as in a windstorm. A large number of trees will be broken or uprooted.
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/
Are short hydrocarbon molecules volatile?
Yes, short hydrocarbon molecules are typically volatile because they have low molecular weights and weaker intermolecular forces, allowing them to easily evaporate into the air at room temperature. Examples of short hydrocarbon molecules include methane, ethane, and propane.
What dried corn kernels that have the hulls removed and have been broken into bits and boiled for food that starts with h called?
hominy
Is H3C--CH3 a functionalized hydrocarbon or hydrocarbon?
hydrocarbon
When a substance with a simple molecular structure boils which bonds are broken?
Intermolecular forces
Is hydrocarbon a secondary pollutant?
No. Hydrocarbon is a Primary pollutant.
