And here’s me, mixing up hydrocarbons and carbohydrates.
Yes, but which is which? Nothing in the name tells me whether it has oxygen in its chemical composition.
Well, you might’ve heard foods with carbohydrates are sometimes referred to by the abbreviation “carbs". If you know carbs are food, it’s obvious the word starting in “carb-” is the edible one.
If you weren’t familiar with that abbreviation, here’s another memory helper: Spaghetti carbonara contains carbs.
If you’re also not familiar with spaghetti carbonara, I’m very sorry for you.
- pentane
- 2 methyl butane
- 2,2 dimethyl propane
what else?
@fossilesque@mander.xyz you got splainin to do :D
you probably meant C6H12?
- hexane
- 2-methylpentane
- 3-methylpentane
- 2,2-methylbutane
- 2,3-methylbutane
meth, eth and prop.
anol and ane.
There’s six right there.
edit 0 : I’m wrong, anols need alcohol and hydrocarbons are things with JUST hydrogen and carbon, not any organic hydrogen carbon compound.
edit 1 : butane … nylon?
edit 2 : not nylon…shit…
edit 3: heptane? I thought about pentante but thought against it because of propane, hexane is in the post above…
edit 4 : yeah! Mr white, science, bitch! I haven’t been to chemistry class for about 20 years, so it took me a while.
