Question

3. In the molecule referred to in the previous question, what is the dominant element attached to

the carbon backbone?

Answer 1

Hydrogen is the "dominant element" attached to the "carbon backbone".

Step-by-step explanation:

• The backbone is referred to as hydrocarbon because it is made only out of hydrogen and carbon.

• Hydrocarbon is currently one of the primary sources of energy as it is used as a "combustible fuel source". It is one of the major source of the world’s heat and electric energy sources.

• Hydrocarbon is burned and the heat it generates is used to power machinery and vehicles.

• They require oxygen for combustion and emits off carbon dioxide and heat during the combustion process.
