I am not a chemist, so I can't give you the "chemical" reason, but I would think that do NOT mix easily with water. My reasoning is that molecules that contain only hydrogen and carbon are called "hydrocarbons", and a very common hydrocarbon is oil. Oil does not mix with water, so I assume that the answer to your question is no.

Hydrogen molecules and oxygen molecules can be easily split by what?

Hydrogen molecules and oxygen molecules can be easily split by what electrolysis. This is the process which is used to breakdown water.


Which of a hydrogen filled balloon air filled balloon and a carbon dioxide filled balloon will deflate the fastest and which is the slowest and explain your answer?

A hydrogen balloon will deflate the fastest because molecules of hydrogen are the smallest and thus will more easily slip through the latex of the balloon. The carbon dioxide-filled balloon will deflate the slowest because these molecules are the biggest, and thus will have more trouble escaping the tiny pores in the balloon.


Is carbon dioxide an organic sunstance?

This is a somewhat controversial question, but most chemists answer "no", because, even though it contains carbon, it does not contain any group that could easily be replaced by a hydrogen atom.


Which is more dangerous hydrocarbons or hydrogen fuel?

Dangerous in what way? hydrogen just being burned does not contribute to global warming, but what about 'making' the hydrogen? Does that use other fuels that contribute to global warming? Hydrogen is more explosive if that is what you mean by dangerous. Hydrocarbons burn to form carbon dioxide which contributes to global warming.


What expands the most when heated hydrogen peroxide carbon dioxide or iron?

A gas as carbon dioxide is easily expanded by heating; hydrogen peroxide is decomposed.


Why does hydrogen molecule does not exist?

Hydrogen molecules do exist but they are less stable than hydrogen atoms. This is because hydrogen molecules require a large amount of energy to form since hydrogen atoms are highly reactive and tend to exist independently. Additionally, hydrogen molecules can easily dissociate into individual atoms at lower temperatures.


Why is carbon dioxide not considered a an organic compound?

Carbon dioxide is not considered an organic compound because it does not contain hydrogen atoms bonded to carbon atoms. Organic compounds are defined as compounds that contain carbon-hydrogen bonds. Carbon dioxide consists of one carbon atom bonded to two oxygen atoms, with no carbon-hydrogen bonds present. Organic compounds are typically associated with living organisms, while carbon dioxide is a simple inorganic molecule commonly found in the atmosphere.


What do polymers contain?

Strictly chemistry speaking: a polymer is a repeated chain of a single molecule. They can be easily synthesized in a lab to create materials with specific properties (i.e. contact lenses, plastics, water repellant)


What is the most plentiful element in the body?

The answer is easily Hydrogen. Our body is over 75% water (which is 66.6% Hydrogen), and the other 25% of our body is made up of large organic molecules, which have lots of Hydrogen in them as well. The second most plentiful element is a much closer contest; it would be between Oxygen and Carbon (with the other 33.3% of water being Oxygen) and Carbon and Oxygen being found in large quantities in the organic molecules too.


What types of molecules dissolve easily in water?

Molecules that are polar or have the ability to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules tend to dissolve easily in water. Examples include salts (ionic compounds), sugars, alcohols, and some acids. Nonpolar molecules, such as oils and fats, do not dissolve easily in water.


What makes carbohydrates different from other organic molecules?

Carbohydrates are composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in a 1:2:1 ratio. They serve as the primary source of energy for living organisms. Unlike proteins and lipids, carbohydrates are easily broken down by the body for quick energy production.


Does carbon dioxide react same like hydrogen to a fire?

No. Hydrogen will easily ignite if it comes in contact if fire. Carbon dioxide is not flammable at all and can even be used to put out a fire.
