Molecules made primarily of carbon and hydrogen are called hydrocarbons. In each of the following hydrocarbons, indicate how many hydrogen atoms are present: 12, 10, 8, or 6

A chain of five carbons joined to each other by single covalent bonds
A chain of five carbon atoms with one double bond and the rest single bonds
A chain of five carbon atoms with two double bonds and two single bonds
A five-carbon molecule with four of the carbons linked by a single covalent bond, and with the fifth carbon attached by a single bond as a branch to the second carbon in the chain
A ring of six carbon atoms held together by alternating single and double bonds
