No: If a material contained carbon atoms only, it would be an element, not a compound.

Why cyclic carbon is named as aliphatic?

Only some cyclic carbon atom rings can properly be called aliphatic: those without any carbon-carbon double bonds or aromatic ring bonds. For example, cyclohexane is aliphatic, but cycolohexene and benzene, which all contain rings of six carbon atoms, are not.


What does a cycloalkane contains?

A cycloalkane contains carbon atoms arranged in a ring or cyclic structure, with each carbon atom bonded to two other atoms. The general formula for a cycloalkane is CnH2n. Cycloalkanes are saturated hydrocarbons, meaning they contain only single bonds between carbon atoms.


What is a compound that contains only single covalent bonds between carbon atoms?

An alkane.

Is hydrocarbons a compound mixture or element?

Hydrocarbons are not an element, they are a type of compound. They are composed of only hydrogen and carbon atoms.


Does carbon atoms joined with oxygen make a gas called carbon trioxide?

No, carbon trioxide does not exist as a stable compound. Carbon atoms bonded with oxygen typically form carbon dioxide (CO2) or carbon monoxide (CO). Carbon trioxide is a hypothetical compound that is highly reactive and quickly decomposes into simpler molecules.


Are the molecules of a buckminster fullerene a compound or an element?

A buckminster fullerene is a molecule made up of multiple carbon atoms arranged in a specific geometric pattern. Since it consists of only carbon atoms, it is considered a pure substance, not a compound.


Why is a saturated hydrocarbon an organic compound which contains hydrogen and carbon joined?

A saturated hydrocarbon contains only single bonds between carbon atoms, making it "saturated" with hydrogen atoms. This type of organic compound forms a continuous chain of carbon atoms with hydrogen atoms attached to each carbon.


Is butane a compound or element?

Butane is a COMPOUND. It is a combination of hydrogen atoms and carbon atoms. Because it contains only hydrogen and carbon iti is one of the numerous 'hydrocarbon' compounds. Because the atoms are 'singly' covalently bonded, it is part of the functional group of hydrocarbons named, ALKANES.
