Liking the lolly's pop Hey I have a question 4 u. Why ask such a boring question, even if it was between life and death, u choose to ask that? Why no ask a funny one like; who other than me fantasises over Barbie? That surely ought to give u a interesting comments! YOLO (you. Only. live. once ) just in case ur too old for da slang

How are unsaturated and saturated hydrocarbon different?
Saturated hydrocarbon cannot bond with compounds anymore, where as unsaturated hydrocarbons can bond, as they contain double or triple bonds. When they bond, the double and triple bonds break and new separate single bonds are formed with hydrogens or any other external compounds.
What is the difference between alkane and alcohol?
Alcohol (or ethanol) has a hydroxyl (OH) group on the end of its carbon chain, and contains no double bonds. Alkanes are likewise a single chain of carbon atoms joined by single bonds, but have no -OH group attached to them.
Do alkanes have double or single bonds?
An Alkene is a type of hydrocarbon that has at least one double bond. An Alkane is triple bond, because the bond is made up of five different elements. When this is created two of the weaker elements are destroyed (sulphur, magnesium) which corresponds with the answer.
What is the difference between saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons?
A saturated hydrocarbon is one where all the carbon atoms are bonded to four other atoms. An unsaturated hydrocarbon is one where some of the carbon atoms aren't (an example being an alkene due to the carbon carbon double bond).
How many hydrogen atoms are present in a hydrocarbon chain of five carbon atoms with one double bond and the rest single bonds?
Uh... that would be 5.

Single bonds consist of bonds?
There is only one bond.It is a sigma bond.

Suffix for hydrocarbon?
For hydrocarbons with one or more single bonds between carbon atoms, the molecules are called alkanes, and the suffix is "-ane".With one or more double bonds, these molecules are called alkenes the suffix is "-ene".With one or more triple bonds, the molecules are called alkynes, and the suffix is "-yne".
How many multiple bonds must a hydrocarbon have in order to be classified as unsaturated?
one
What are the bond combinations for carbon in neutral molecules?
four single bonds two double bonds two single bonds and one double bond one triple bond and one single bond
What is an alkene?
Apex- A hydrocarbon containing a carbon-carbon double bond
Does a hydrocarbon consist of four carbon atoms with one double bond?
It caN DO , PROVIDING THERE ARE NO OTHER ELEMENTS, EXCEPT HYDROGEN PRESENT. A hydrocarbon is any organic compound that contains carbon and hydrogen ONLY. So CH3-CH=CH-CH3 But-2-ene is a hydrocarbon. Similarly CH2=CH-CH2-CH3 Biut-1-ene is also a hydrocarbon. However, Butanol (CH3CH2CH2CH2OH) is NOT a hydrocarbon because it contains an oxygen atom .
Is Propane hydrophobic?
Yes. A hydrocarbon is an organic compound containing only carbon and hydrogens. Propane has the molecular formula of C3H8.
