What makes ethanol a saturated hydrocarbon?
It is a saturated hydrocarbon because it contains no double bonds in its structure. The general formula for alcohol series is CnH2n+1OH. For example, structure of ethanol is as follows:- H3C-CH2-OH
Is the compound with the chemical formula C15H30 a member of the alkane series?
Alkanes have as general formula CnH2n+2 . C15H30 is therfore not an alkane it is an alkene (CnH2n) with one double bond.
Which hydrocarbon series contains a double covalent bond between carbon atoms?
They are called the (mono) ALKENES, non-cyclo CnH2n formula
Why do these substance all belong to the same homologous series?
Chemical compounds (organic) placed in a homologous series have a general chemical formula. The common example is alkenes.
What is homologous series in chemistry?
This is part of organic chemistry. Homologous Series: is a series of compounds with the SAME GENERAL FORMULA, SIMILAR CHEMICAL PROPERTIES, and a GRADUATION IN PHYSICAL PROPERTIES, where each member differs from the previous member by a CH2 group. For example: ALKANES: General formula is C(n)H(2n+2) eg. C2H6 or C3H8 or C4H10. All of these are saturated molecules, so they contain the maximum number of hydrogen atoms per molecule, ie. all bonds are single and there are no unused electron pairs. This means that these will not be able to undergo addition reactions because there are no free electron pairs to bond to. Therefore, alkanes have SIMILAR CHEMICAL PROPERTIES. Also, no alkane is polar. Alkanes have a GRADUATION IN PHYSICAL PROPERTIES because as there are more CH2 groups, the molecule's mass and size increases, hence the strength of the acting intermolecular forces, the Van der Waal's forces is increasing therefore the bigger the molecule, the stronger the intermolecular forces, therefore the higher the boiling point.

With which homologous series does cyclohexane share its general formula?
arene
What Homologous series?
A homologous series is a family of organic compounds that: *have the same general formula. *have similar chemical properties and *show a gradual increase in physical properties such as melting and boiling point.
Is the word propane a slang word or is profanity?
"Propane" is the name of the third hydrocarbon in the alkanes series and has the formula C3H8. I think perhaps you mean "profane"? Kung Fu Tzu
What is an alkanediyl?
An alkanediyl is any of a series of divalent radicals of the general formula CnH2n derived from aliphatic hydrocarbons.
What are the 3 series in saturated hydrocarbons?
These 3 series of saturated hydrocarbon are: linear alkanes, branched alkanes, cycloalkanes.
Why do these substance all belong to the same homologous series?
Chemical compounds (organic) placed in a homologous series have a general chemical formula. The common example is alkenes.
What is octane?
Octane is an alkane hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C8H18.
Which is the ratio of carbon to hydrogen in this series of hydrocarbons as the number of carbons increases?
For alkanes the general chemical formula is CnH2n+2.
The first four members of the almanac homologous series are :The general formula for this homologous series is A CnH2n-2OB CnH2nOC CnH2n+1OD CnH2n+2O?
D CnH2n+2O
