Why alkanes do not react with bromine water?
No, bromine will only add to alkenes, so NO addition reaction to alkanes. Subtitution on alkanes is not possible at standard conditions
What is the process that converts large alkanes to small alkanes and alkenes is called?
Long-chain alkanes can be broken into smaller hydrocarbons in a process called cracking, which may be thermal or catalytic.
What is the general formula for the alkanols?
The general formula for linear alkanes is CnH2n+2. Where cabon atoms are joined in a chain like form.
Alkanes do not have geometric isomers because the carbon atoms in their carbon-carbon bonds are?
free rotate
Do alkanes react with hydrogen?
Alkanes are not really reactive if you compare them to alkenes or alkines. They don't have double or triple bonds, they only have single bonds between their C-atoms so they aren't as reactive as alkenes or alkines. Alkanes are pretty stable since they don't have clouds of delocalised electrons as arenes do. Typical reactions for alkanes are pyrolysis, oxidation and substitution When it comes to substitution, they can substitute one of their C-atoms with a halogen, and the products of that reaction are halogen-hydrogen and halogenalkane For instance, Butane + Cl2 --> Clorobutane + HCl
Hydrocarbons which have only single bonds between carbon atoms?
All alkanes have single bonds.They consist of single bonds.
How can alkanes be described?
Alkanes can be described as saturated.
What come from crude oil alkanes or alkenes?
alkanes
Which alkanes are liquid?
pentane and other alkanes above it
Name selected structural formulas of organic compounds?
There are many selected formulas of organic compounds. For example those containing hydrocarbons. Ch3ch3 is Alkanes and ethane compound. Ch3ch2ci contains halogen and ethyl chloride.
Are longer chain alkanes more flammable than shorter chain alkanes?
No, Shorter chain alkanes are more flammable
Do alkanes contain phosphorus?
No. alkanes contain only hydrogen and carbon.
What the advantages of using alkanes?
Alkanes are, 1- good fuel, 2-higer alkanes are good lubricants, 3- they are antiseptic for external use.
Why alkanes called parafins?
because of their unreactive nature alkanes are called parrafins
Why alkanes are called parafins?
because of their unreactive nature alkanes are called parrafins
What are 3 kinds of carbon chains found in hydrocarbons?
Alkanes alkanes and alkynes
Why alkanes do not react with bromine water?
No, bromine will only add to alkenes, so NO addition reaction to alkanes. Subtitution on alkanes is not possible at standard conditions
