Covalent. There are 4 C-H sigma bonds between 4 hybrid orbitals of 1 C and s orbitals of 4 H. It's sp3 hybridisation here.

What are the chemical difference between unsaturated and saturated fat?

All fats contain chains of carbon atoms bonded to hydrogen atoms. In a saturated fat the carbon atoms in the chains are boned to as many hydrogen atoms as possible (that is, 2 each, with the last carbon bonded to 3) and all carbon-carbon bonds are single bonds. In an unsaturated fat some of the carbons are not bonded to the maximum number of hydrogen atoms, and those carbon atoms that are missing hydrogen atoms are double bonded to a neighboring carbon.


What is the the shape of carbon when bonded with four hydrogen atoms?

Does methyl group consists of a carbon bonded to three hydrogen atoms?

Yes, a methyl group consists of three hydrogen atoms bonded to a carbon atom, with a univalent radical. Add one hydrogen atom and you have methane.

In a molecule of methane how many atoms are there?

The chemical formula for methane is CH4. Then there are four hydrogen atoms and one carbon atom in each molecule, making two distinct types of atoms.


What is the maximum number of hydrogen atoms that can be covalently bonded in a molecule containing two carbon atoms?

6


Does one atom of carbon bond with four other atoms?

It can, but not always. In Methane, for example, it is bonded to four atoms of Hydrogen. But in Ethylene, each carbon atom is bonded to two atoms of Hydrogen, and share a double bond with each other. In Acetylene, each carbon atom is bonded to one atom of Hydrogen, and are triple bonded to each other. So while it always has four bonds, the bonds don't have to be made with four different atoms.


What are molecules considered to be if they contain carbon atoms covalently bonded to other atoms such as hydrogen and oxygen?

carboxalic acid


When the carbon atoms in hydrocarbon molecules are bonded to as many hydrogen atoms as possible is an unsaturated hydrocarbon is produced?

False


What molecule is propene?

Propene is a linear hydrocarbon containing 3 carbons and 6 hydrogens. Two of the carbons are double bonded. Starting at the double-bonded end, you have two hydrogen atoms bonded to the end carbon, then a single carbon double bonded to the first carbon and with a single hydrogen bonded to it, then the third carbon is singly bonded to the second with 3 hydrogen atoms bonded to it.Propene is also known as propylene or methyl ethylene.


Do all aldehydes have a carbonyl carbon bonded to at least two hydrogens?

All aldehydes except one will have a carbonyl carbon bonded to just one hydrogen. The exception is formaldehyde, the simplest aldehyde, which has a carbon double bonded to oxygen and has two bonds to hydrogen.


What is a distinguish characteristics of saturated fatty acid?

Saturated fatty acids have only single carbon-carbon bonds.
