What features characterize an alkene?
1. They are saturated hydrocarbons linked by single bonds. 2. The formula is CnH2n+2 3. The C bonds are very stable and difficult to break The reaction that they have is known as free radical substitution with halogens in the presence of sunlight and combustion. They also react with a nickel catalyst to give out hydrogen.
Does starch contain carbon?
Yes, starch is a carbohydrate composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. It is a polysaccharide made up of a chain of glucose molecules linked together.
What is the difference between carbon dioxide and oxygen?
Oxygen gas is composed of two oxygen atoms chemically linked together. Carbon dioxide is composed of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms chemically linked together. The carbon is oxydized to a 4+ state.
What is the name of the molecular structure of cinnamaldehyde?
This is a phenyl group linked to an aldehyde.
What elements does maltodextrin contain?
Maltodextrin is a carbohydrate polymer made up of glucose molecules. It typically contains around 4-20 glucose units linked together, depending on the specific type of maltodextrin.
Are fatty acids carbohydrates linked to hydrocarbons?
Yes
What are the elements present in hydrocarbon?
The elements are carbon and hydrogen, C and H. they're linked by single bonds.
What organic compound is an alkane?
Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons with the general formula CnH2n+2.
Do proteins contain hydrocarbons?
Yes hydrogen is present in protein back bone and peptide side chains. In addition proteins are rich in Carbon hence known as organic molecule. Traces of sulfur also their in aminoacids such as serine and threionine
What are the characteristic of aromatic hydrocarbons?
Principal characteristics of aromatic hydrocarbons are:- the contain benzenic rings- frequently they have an agreeable odor- they burn with soot; this is a disadvantage- the ratio carbon/hydrogen is great
How are large hydro carbonates obtained from crude oil?
There is no such thing as "hydrocarbonates". You seem to have confused "carbohydrates" with "hydrocarbons".Crude oil consists mostly of a mixture of hydrocarbons. Some of the hydrocarbons are small molecules, such as pentane. Others are large molecules with many carbon atoms linked in long chains, branching chains, rings, linked rings etc. Sometimes the long and branching chains are "cracked" and the rings are "rectified" by heat and reacting with carbon in the presence of catalysts, producing smaller and simpler hydrocarbons.Hydrocarbons consisting of large molecules are generally separated from hydrocrbons with small molecules by means of fractional distillation.
Organic molecules are linked by what bonds?
They are linked together by Carbon to Carbon bonds.
What are the different kinds of carbon chains that are found in hydrocarbons?
Hydrocarbons are molecules comprised of only carbon and hydrogen. They can be linear like hexane They can be branched like 3-Methylpentane They can be circular like cyclohexane
How do hydrocarbons differ in structure from carbohydrates?
Hydrocarbons are chains of carbon atoms bonded to hydrogen and sometimes functional groups whereas carbohydrates have more complex structures made up of sugars made of mainly hydrogen, carbon and oxygen.Hydrocarbons contain only hydrogen and carbon. Carbohydrates contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen with an empirical formula of C . H2O ( hence the name carbo + hydrate).Hydrocarbons are compounds containing only Hydrogen and Carbon atoms (e.g. Alkanes and Alkenes), whereas Carbohydrates are organic compounds that form the supporting tissues in plants and are important for animals to intake to be healthy (part of a balanced diet).Hydrocarbons are simply made by carbon and hydrogen. Nevertheless there is a wide variety of hydrocarbons, due to the different bonds that can be formed by carbon atoms with other carbon atoms.Carbohydrates are carbon-based molecules that are rich in hydroxyl groups (OH). Indeed, the empirical formula for many carbohydrates is (C-H2O)n-R , where R is a radical, for example an aminoacid residue.Many different organic elements are formed by hydrocarbons by substitution, that is substituting an hyydrogen atom with a more complex radicalHydrocarbon molecules have a particular spatial form due to the space orientation of C-H bonds. For example the methane molecule is done by the carbon atom at the center of a tetrahedron with the four hydrogen atoms at the vertices.Complex carbohydrates-polymers of covalently linked monosaccharides-are called polysaccharides.The main classes of hydrocarbons are:Saturated: when there are no multiple bonds between nearby carbon atoms;Unsaturated, when multiple bonds between nearby carbon atoms exist;Aromatic, when cycles formed by carbon atoms are present;Non- Aromatic where the carbon atoms structure has noo closed loops;The simplest hydrocarbons are methane (CH4) and Ethane (C2H6).Simple carbohydrates are called monosaccharides and many of them are also normally called sugars.A polysaccharide can be as simple as one comprising two identical monosaccharides. Or it can be as complex as one consisting of dozens of different monosaccharides that are linked to form a polysaccharide composed of millions of monosaccharides.The variety of monosaccharides and the multiplicity of linkages forming polysaccharides mean that carbohydrates provide cells with a vast array of three-dimensional structures that can be used for a variety of purposes, as simple as energy storage or as complex as cell-cell recognition signals.
What are some of the most common plastic compounds?
Some of the most common plastic compounds include polymers made of chains of carbon atoms, or those with carbon and oxygen, sulfur, or nitrogen. Other compounds include inorganic compounds such as Organotin compounds, which are tin linked to hydrocarbons.
What are straight or branched structures formed by carbon atoms linked together?
These are known as hydrocarbons, which are molecules composed solely of carbon and hydrogen atoms. The arrangement of carbon atoms can result in straight chains, branched chains, or even cyclic structures. They form the backbone of organic chemistry and are the basis of many important compounds like alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes.
What process in an organism is linked to the carbon cycle but not the nitrogen cycle?
Photosynthesis is a process in an organism that is linked to the carbon cycle but not the nitrogen cycle. In photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is taken up by plants to produce glucose and oxygen, which are important components of the carbon cycle. However, nitrogen is not directly involved in this process.
