A manufacturer uses hydrocarbon feedstock to make packaging, synthetic fibres, paints and detergents.
Which statement explains why the feedstock can be used to make such a range of carbon compounds?
Different compounds form because carbon and hydrogen atoms have different boiling points.
Different compounds form because carbon atoms bond to one another and to hydrogen in many arrangements.
Different compounds form because the feedstock is an unbonded mixture of carbon and hydrogen.
Different compounds form because carbon atoms are used up when the feedstock burns.
