I can tell you one thing for certain: hydrocarbons aren't elements. They're made of hydrogen and carbon, both of which are elements themselves.

What is the world's most volatile chemical in the world?
Helium.
Is crude oil a mixture?
It is a mixture of hydrocarbons, which can be separated by fractional distillation. Oil is NOT an element.
Which element is the most valuable in this world and why?
Aurum or Gold. Because besides being used to make jewelleries & parts of electronic components, it's value increases steadily despite the volatile economy. It is a common type of investment when nothing else remains stable.
Energy- rich chemical compounds that contains carbon and hydrogen atoms are callled?
In organic chemistry, those compounds are called hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons can be found in the form of gases, liquids, waxes, and polymers.
What are compounds containing both hydrogen and carbon called?
Compounds that contain only hydrogen and carbon are called hydrocarbons. There are many of these, saturated hydrocarbons are termed alkanes, examples range from methane CH4 the smallest to polymers such as polythene (C2H4)n , others include the unsaturated hydrocarbons with double or triple bonds (alkenes and alkynes) such as ethylene C2H4, acetylene C2H2
Which hydrocarbon is most volatile and which is least volatile?
Most - CH4 Least - unanswerable as so very many high molecular weight hydrocarbons have almost no vapour pressure. Hydrocarbon would include compounds such as macro-molecules of rubbers and other 3 dimensional polymers.
What is the oxidation number of hyrdogen?
+1 in most of its compounds (when attached to more electronegative element) -1 in the case of hydrides and hydrocarbons (or when attached to less electronegative element)
What is the name of the element that has oxidation numbers of plus 1 and -1?
Hydrogen. +1 in most of the compounds -1 in metal hydrides and hydrocarbons
What is petrolium ether?
Petroleum ether is a mixture of volatile hydrocarbons. Most of the time when it's called for in an experiment it's simply being used as a solvent; pentane or hexane generally work just as well.
Which is the most volatile halogen acid?
HCl is the most volatile halogen acid.
What besides oxygen and hydrogen which element is most abundant within the human body?
nitrogen (N)
Is CBr4 more volatile than CCl4?
ch4 is the most volatile
Are products made from petroleum called hydrocarbons?
Products made form petroleum are called hydrocarbons. Petroleum and natural gas are where most hydrocarbons come from. Hydrocarbons are entirely made from crude oils.
What is a question using the word volatile?
"Are most volatile chemicals dangerous to inhale?" "How volatile is the financial market in Italy?" "What is the best way to assure that police are trained to handle volatile racial situations?"
Are most hydrocarbon compounds hydrophobic?
Yes. hydrocarbons are generally hydrophobic as hydrocarbons are non-polar and water is polar.
Which volatile memory can be deleted?
When the machine is shut off all Volatile memory is gone for the most part.
Is food hydrocarbons?
No, but foods can contain some hydrocarbons. While most hydrocarbons are toxic to humans, one form in particular is used in many food preparations: paraffin wax.
