As the name implies hydrocarbons consist of only hydrogen and carbon atoms. There are thousands of possible hydrocarbon molecules. However, the simplest type are called alkanes. Alkanes have the formula CnH2n+2, where n = 1,2,3 etc.. For example for n=1 we have CH4, for n=2 we have C2H6 etc.. Naming these hydrocarbons is simple:
In 2010, when Matilda the chicken, of Ipswich, England, laid an egg 3 1/2 inches high and 8.3 inches around, a Guinness World Records spokesman told the U.K. news website Metro: The largest hen egg was a five-yolked egg measuring [12.2 inches] around the long axis, [9 inches] around the short and weighing nearly [12 ounces].
The largest biological cell is often cited as the ostrich egg, which is about 6 inches (15 cm) long and weigh about 3 pounds (1.4 kg). This is a myth. There are at least several biological cells larger than an ostrich egg, despite the fact that even many scientists and laypeople believe the ostrich egg is indeed the biggest.
