Hydrocarbons do not contain hydroxyl groups, but contain only C and H. A hydroxyl group has an oxygen, so violates the definition of a hydrocarbon. The class of organic compounds containing a hydroxyl group are called alcohols.

A substituted hydrocarbon is a hydrocarbon with one or more of the hydrogens substituted with another group,( often a halogen such as chlorine or bromine) or another group of atoms such as -OH. Examples : - a simple hydrocarbon is methane CH4. Substitute chlorine for hydrogen to get CH3Cl Methyl Chloride, used for cleaning. Sub. again to get CH2Cl2 Methylene Chloride, paint stripper. Sub again to get CHCl3 Chloroform, an ancient anaesthetic. Sub again to get CCl4 Carbon Tetrachloride. Once used in cleaning and fire extinguishers. Substitute a single -OH group into : - CH4 to get CH3OH methanol or into C2H6 to get C2H5OH ethanol. The above examples all begin with unbranched non-cyclic hydrocarbons, but any hydrocarbon is a suitable target. A well known instance is a double substitution of chlorine at opposite ends of a benzene ring to form paradichlorbenzene, commonly found hanging in toilet bowls. C6H6 becomes C6H4Cl2.

same structure as the parent hydrocarbon however they have a substitution of one or more different atoms in the place of hydrogens on a carbon

It would be an alcohol.

An alkylbenzene is a hydrocarbon formally derived from benzene by replacing one or more hydrogen atoms with alkyl groups.


A halogenated hydrocarbon is?

A compound containing one or more of the halogen elements (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine) but mainly hydrogen and carbon.


What is markownkoves rule?

Markovnikov's rule states that functional groups tend to be added to the more substited carbon. For alcohol groups, Oxymercuration-demercuration of a double bond in and alkene results in the Markovnikov product with the hydroxyl group on the more substituted carbon. Hydroboration-Oxidation of a double bond in an alkene results in the Anti-Markovnikov product with the hydroxyl group on the less substituted carbon.


Which are functional groups?

n.An atom or group of atoms, such as a carboxyl group, that replaces hydrogen in an organic compound and that defines the structure of a family of compounds and determines the properties of the family.Read more: functional-group


Is hydrogen present in amino acids?

Yes Amino acids are made up of an amino group which has 2 hydrogen atoms and a carboxyl group which also has 2 hydrogen atoms. It then has other groups attached to it which could have many many more hydrogen atoms added to it


Do molecules have just one functional group or can they have more than one?

Molecules are able to have multiple functional groups. For example, an amino acid contains both the amino group -NH2 and carboxyl group -COOH.


Is a short-chain hydrocarbon more viscous than a long chain hydrocarbon?

Typically the shorter the carbon chain, the LESS viscous the hydrocarbon. The longer the chain, the MORE viscous the hydrocarbon. For example consider the viscosity and molecular size in: Gasoline < Diesel < Motor Oil < Tar Viscosity increases with the molecular size and length of hydrocarbon chain.


Do saturated fatty acids contain a carboxyl group?

No double bonds. A saturated fat has hydrocarbon chains that are close together. An unsaturated fat contains double bonds in the hydrocarbon chains which makes a kink in the chain. This makes them sit farther apart and thus more liquid than saturated hydrocarbons.


What is an amine?

An amine is a functional group formally derived from ammonia by replacing one, two or three hydrogen atoms with hydrocarbon or other radicals.


What What are made up of fatty acids?

Fatty acids are made of two things: hydrocarbon chainsand a carboxyl group.Fatty acids can be saturated, monounsaturated, or polyunsaturated, the difference lying in bonds found within a fatty acid. A saturated fatty acid contains a maximum number of hydrogen atoms in the hydrocarbon chains. A polyunsaturated fatty acid or monounsaturated fatty acid is one that does not contain all possible hydrogen atoms. Monounsaturated fatty acids contain one carbon-carbon double bond in their hydrocarbon chain. Polyunsaturated fatty acids contain more than one.
