Do alkanes contain covalent bonds?

yes. they do.


Is an aldehyde saturated or unsaturated?

Alkanes have single bonds only and are therefore saturated. A hydrocarbon is unsaturated if there are multiple bonds or rings within the compound. Alkenes contain double bonds, alkynes contain triple bonds, and cycloalkanes contain rings; these are unsaturated hydrocarbons. But alkanes are saturated.


Hydrocarbons which have only single bonds between carbon atoms?

All alkanes have single bonds.They consist of single bonds.


Why is alkane chemically inert?

Alkanes are not very reactive because of the stability of their bonds. The carbon hydrogen bonds found in alkanes are virtually nonpolar. Also, carbon and hydrogen have no lone pairs of electrons. This means that they are not subject to attack by nucleophiles or electrophiles.


What has carbon atoms joined by single bonds?

If the compounds only contain carbon and hydrogen, they are called alkanes.


Are hydrogen bonds formed between any molecules that contain hydrogen?

NO! the requirement is for hydrogen to be bonded to a very electronegative atom such as oxygen or fluorine. Alkanes, e.g. C2H6, contain C-H bonds and there are no hydrogen bonds.


Which family of organic compounds does not contain any multiple bonds?

Alkanes are carbon chains with no multiple bonds. Alkenes are carbon chains with double bonds. Alkynes are carbon chains with triple bonds.


Do alkanes contain phosphorus?

No. alkanes contain only hydrogen and carbon.


How many double covalent bonds are in an alkane?

None. The property of all alkanes is that they contain only C-H single bonds and C-C single bonds. If a compound contains double C to C bonds it is classified as an alkene not an alkane.


Why sigma bonds are inert in alkanes?

no ans and confussion


What organic compound that contains only single bonds?

Saturated aliphatic compounds or alkanes have only C-C single bonds.


Are carbon- hydrogen bonds of alkalanes polar?

carbon-hydrogen bonds of alkanes are not polar.
