The figure shows the proposed reaction mechanisms and energetics for the formation of linear and branched hydrocarbons. During the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide on fluorine-doped nickel ...

The longest unbranched chain containing the functional group is the parent molecule, or simply the longest unbranched chain for alkanes. Remember that, the longest chain can go round a bend. Indicate ...

Diesel fuel, of both the traditional and bio varieties, is made up of linear hydrocarbons. These are long straight chains of carbon atoms, and they differ from the shorter, branched chains – known as ...

Scientists have developed a method that can turn carbon dioxide into valuable liquid hydrocarbons, which are the main components of jet fuel. Developed by chemists from the National University of ...

Chemists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a new way to turn carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into valuable liquid hydrocarbons, which are the main components of fuels ...
