Select the true statements about hydrocarbons.
a. Hydrocarbons have low boiling points compared to compounds of similar molar mass.
b. Hydrocarbons are hydrophobic.
c. Hydrocarbons are capable of hydrogen bonding.
d. Hydrocarbons are insoluble in water.

Respuesta :

Answer:

a. Hydrocarbons have low boiling points compared to compounds of similar molar mass.

b. Hydrocarbons are hydrophobic.

d. Hydrocarbons are insoluble in water.

Explanation:

As we know that the hydrocarbons is a mix of carbon and hydrogen. In this the availability of the electronegative atom is not there that shows there is no bonding of the hydrogen plus it is dissolved. Also, the hydrocarbons is considered to be a non-polar but as compared to the water, water is a polar

In addition to this, the strong bond is no existed that shows the lower boiling points  

Therefore option A, B and D are right

Statements that are true as regards hydrocarbons are;

a. Hydrocarbons have low boiling points compared to compounds of similar molar mass.

b. Hydrocarbons are hydrophobic.

d. Hydrocarbons are insoluble in water.

  • Hydrocarbon can be regarded as organic compound , they usually made up of  entirely hydrogen and carbon.

  • They are compound that are insoluble in water because of there non- polar structure, so they are hydrophobic with low boiling points.

Therefore, option A,B,D are correct.
