Hydrocarbons are molecules made entirely from hydrogen and oxygen molecules. Some examples include Methane (CH4), Ethane (C2H6), Propane (C3H8), etc.
saturated molecule
When one carbon in the hydrocarbon molecule has formed a double (or triple) bond with an adjacent carbon.
The most probable type of a molecules in the detergents is the hydrocarbon molecules and the sodium molecules. The sodium molecules binds to water while the hydrocarbon molecule binds to grease.
That's a reasonable description of a "hydrocarbon"
Ball-and-Stick Model
The molecule is a branched hydrocarbon.
A hydrocarbon.
A hydrocarbon.
A hydrocarbon-apex
It is a hydrocarbon with the formula, C4H10
saturated molecule
the molecule branched is a hydrocarbon
A hydrocarbon.
A hydrocarbon.
When one carbon in the hydrocarbon molecule has formed a double (or triple) bond with an adjacent carbon.
Fat is a fairly complicated compound: it is composed of a glycerin molecule with 3 fatty acid molecules attached. Each of the fatty acid molecules is composed of a carboxylic acid molecule and a hydrocarbon polymer molecule chain. The hydrocarbon polymer molecule chains can be of any length and either flexible or rigid. The hydrocarbon polymer molecule chains will likely be different in each of the 3 fatty acid molecules in a given fat molecule.
