A secondary carbon is a carbon atom that is singly bonded to two other carbon atoms.
Yes but you have to draw it as a 3 carbon ring structure (like a triangle) and the 1st carbon would have a CH3 and an OH.
The answer is 4
The general formula for a monosaccharide with three carbons is C3H6O3. One example of a monosaccharide with three carbons is glyceraldehyde, which has the molecular formula C3H6O3.
Tertiary consumers typically feed on secondary consumers, which are animals that eat primary consumers. This means that tertiary consumers eat other animals such as smaller carnivores or omnivores. Examples of tertiary consumers include eagles, sharks, and humans.
Carbons with carbon-carbon double bonds are called alkenes. They are unsaturated hydrocarbons characterized by the presence of at least one carbon-carbon double bond.
Tertiary
6 carbons 6 carbons
Primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols can be distinguished based on the number of carbon atoms bonded to the carbon atom that carries the hydroxyl (-OH) group. In primary alcohols, the -OH group is attached to a carbon that is bonded to only one other carbon atom. In secondary alcohols, the -OH group is connected to a carbon bonded to two other carbons, while in tertiary alcohols, the -OH group is on a carbon bonded to three other carbons. This can be confirmed using chemical tests, such as oxidation reactions, where primary alcohols oxidize to aldehydes, secondary alcohols to ketones, and tertiary alcohols do not oxidize easily.
The prefixes for naming hydrocarbons are based on the number of carbon atoms in the molecule. They include: meth- (1 carbon), eth- (2 carbons), prop- (3 carbons), but- (4 carbons), pent- (5 carbons), hex- (6 carbons), hept- (7 carbons), oct- (8 carbons), non- (9 carbons), dec- (10 carbons).
5 carbons
there are 4 carbons in oxaloacetic acid
Yes but you have to draw it as a 3 carbon ring structure (like a triangle) and the 1st carbon would have a CH3 and an OH.
Pyruvic acid is C3H4O3 and has 3 carbon atoms.
Tertiary - Third So the tertiary comes third.
Cholesterol all in all have 27 carbons.
butane has four carbons
I'm pretty sure this is impossible. A tertiary carbon is bonded to three other carbons. Counting each of these 3 as one-half of a carbon-carbon bond (the other half coming from the other carbon), that means that if there are 9 carbons, there must be 27 half bonds in the molecule, which works out to thirteen carbon-carbon bonds plus half a bond left over. Since you can't have half a bond in a real compound, it's not possible to arrange nine carbons so that each one is bonded to three others. You can do it with 8, in which case you get cubane. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Uh you shouldn't label this as impossible. I reckon its COMPLETELY POSSIBLE! For example: look at this: H H H H H H H H H | | | | | | | | | H-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-H | | | | | | | | | H H H H H H H H H This is Nonane (C9H20). I'm not too sure if this is right, but so far it looks pretty good-and makes sense. So that puts a whole in your answer up there =P *OMGG! see those vertical hydrogen-carbon bonds (or lines in between the Hydrogens and Carbons) ther actually supposed to connect the 9 carbons to the the 2 hydrogen atoms above and under them. Sorry, i had it perfect before, but when i save it screws up. Hope this helps... **Ink and Paper** ---Yo i think my answer is wrong, but i ain't gonna delete it coz it took me time---
