What are the products when a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen gas?

• hydrogen gas and carbon dioxide

• water and carbon ash

• carbon dioxide and water vapor

• nothing because they burn clean

• hydrocarbon with double bonds

• hydrocarbon with triple bonds

• saturated hydrocarbon

• unsaturated hydrocarbon

Compounds that contain only the elements carbon and hydrogen are called

• carbon chains

• hydrocarbons

• isomers

• substituted hydrocarbons

A very large organic molecule made up of chains of smaller molecules is called a

• monomer

• polymer

• saturated hydrocarbon

• substituted hydrocarbon

Condensation reactions are accomplished by

• the removal of a water molecule and two smaller molecules are combined

• addition of a carbon dioxide from the carbon chain of two monomers

• the splitting of a covalent bond with a water molecule

• the transfer of an -OH group to an amine group
