what is the difference between a straight and a branched chain hydrocarbons?

In a straight-chain alkane, all the carbon atoms can be joined in a continuous chain. In branched-chain alkane, all the carbon atoms cannot be joined in a continuous chain as some of the carbon atoms exist as branches or side chains to the main carbon chain.

Sweet vs Sour Crude Oil. Sweet crude oil is considered “sweet” if it contains less than 0.5% sulfur. In comparison, sour crude oil contains impurity sulfur levels larger than 0.5%. ... This results in a higher-priced gasoline than that made from sweet crude oil.

Hydrocarbons. Alkanes and alkynes do not exhibit geometrical isomerism. ... Alkanes contain carbon-carbon single bond and there is free rotation around single bond or sigma bond. Alkynes contain triple bond around which the rotation is hindered but the molecule is linear.

What is the main difference between the two forms of starch produced naturally? One is branched, the other is not.

Kerosene structure often range from 12 carbon atoms to 15 atoms. It can have a mixture of straight and branched hydrocarbons. Diesel, on the other hand, has a rigid molecular structure with hydrocarbons comprising of 16 carbon atoms and 34 hydrogen atoms. These chains can vary.

The only difference is the length of the carbon chains. kerosene, in the C12 to C15 range . Diesel fuels have longer hydrocarbon chains, higher BTU content, are thicker and are more tolerant of contamination (also they are allowed to contain more sulfur. ... Petrol, Diesel & Kerosene come under petroleum distillates.

The alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons—that is, hydrocarbons that contain only single bonds. Alkenes contain one or more carbon-carbon double bonds. Alkynes contain one or more carbon-carbon triple bonds.

The main difference is in the presence of a carbon atom; organic compounds will contain a carbon atom (and often a hydrogen atom, to form hydrocarbons), while almost all inorganic compounds do not contain either of those two atoms.....

Unconventional vs. The unconventional reservoir has hydrocarbons that were formed within the rock and never migrated. The conventional reservoir is a porous rock formation that contains hydrocarbons that have migrated from a source rock (unconventional reservoir).

As adjectives the difference between direct and straight is that direct is straight, constant, without interruption while straight is not crooked or bent; having a constant direction throughout its length.

Butane and cyclobutane are technically unrelated! They don't have the same molecular formula and so have no isomeric relationship. Ditto for other chains and rings.

"Hydrocarbon" and "carbohydrate" sound similar but are two very different types of compounds. Hydrocarbons consist of purely carbon and hydrogen, while carbohydrates also contain oxygen. Living organisms metabolize carbohydrates for energy, whereas hydrocarbons are used as fuels and in industrial applications.

- Saturated fats contain only single bonds in the carbon chain, with all excess carbon electrons bonded to hydrogen. ... - Trans-unsaturated fats also contain double bonds, but the hydrogens are on opposite sides of the double bond, causing the carbon chain to remain straight.

chain nose have a round tapering point while flat nose have a flat side. The flat nose pliers are easier to use to grip something. The chain nose are often used in jewelry making for wrapping material to make a small circle/loops.

Generally, a fatty acid consists of a straight chain of an even number of carbon atoms, with hydrogen atoms along the length of the chain and at one end of the chain and a carboxyl group (―COOH) at the other end. ... A few fatty acids have branched chains; others contain ring structures (e.g., prostaglandins).

Because isomers are different compounds, they have different properties. Generally, branched-chain isomers have lower boiling and melting points than straight-chain isomers. ... The more branching there is, the lower the boiling and melting points are.

- Cis-unsaturated fats contain double bonds, with hydrogens on the same side of the double bond which causes the carbon chain to bend. - Trans-unsaturated fats also contain double bonds, but the hydrogens are on opposite sides of the double bond, causing the carbon chain to remain straight.
