It's a hydrocarbon--hydro for hydrogen, carbon for...well, carbon.
If the molecule contains oxygen too, it's a carbohydrate--carbon with water attached. A single carbohydrate ring--a monosaccharide--always contains atoms in a 1:2:1 ratio--for every one atom of carbon, there are one of oxygen and two of hydrogen. Carbohydrates where there are multiple rings connected have two fewer hydrogen atoms than the 1:2:1 ratio would suggest--sucrose is C12H22O12, not C12H24O12. The two missing hydrogens are gone because there's got to be a bonding site for the second ring, and you get it by losing one hydrogen off each ring.
Glucose is a carbohydrate, which means it contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Specifically, glucose contains 6 carbon, 6 oxygen, and 12 hydrogen atoms.
It is organic if the molecule contains carbon-hydrogen bonds. If none of these bonds are present in the molecule, it is inorganic.
No, cholesterol is an organic molecule because it contains carbon atoms bonded to hydrogen atoms. Inorganic molecules, on the other hand, typically do not contain carbon-hydrogen bonds.
The percentage of carbon in glucose is 40 %.
No
The molecule that contains only carbon and hydrogen is methane, which has the chemical formula CH4.
Any molecule that contains hydrogen and carbon is an organic compound. If the molecule contains no other elements, it is also a hydrocarbon.
a molecule that contains hydrogen and carbon
A molecule is said to be organic if it contains carbon atoms covalently bonded to hydrogen atoms. Organic molecules can also contain other elements like oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus, as long as they are predominantly composed of carbon and hydrogen atoms.
Sugar is an organic molecule because it contains carbon atoms. More rigorously, it contains carbon-hydrogen bonds.
