<span>The answer is (1) chemically combined in a fixed proportion. Elements in a compound are bound by a chemical bond. So, oxygen and hydrogen are bound chemically. Further, their proportion never changes, it is always 1 oxygen atom and 2 hydrogen atoms in water. Thus, elements in a compound are chemically combined in a fixed proportion.Hope this helps. Let me know if you need additional help!</span>
Answer:
hexane
Explanation:
This is a 6- carbon hydrocarbon with no multiple bonds or any functional groups (such as -OH). Thus, the prefix 'hex' refers to the 6 carbons and 'ane' refers to the molecule being an alkane.
Naming molecules:
<u>Number of </u><u>carbons</u>
• pentane: 5 carbons
• hexane: 6 carbons
• heptane: 7 carbons
• octane: 8 carbons
• nonane: 9 carbons
<u>Functional </u><u>groups</u> (for 6- carbons molecules)
• Alkene (C=C): hexene
• Alcohol (-OH): hexanol
• Alkyne (C≡C): hexyne
