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.
How alkanes are produced?
By putting crude oil through a process called fractional distilation.
What is the process that decomposes alkanes into alkenes?
This is usually called cracking; It produces unsaturated hydrocarbons as well as smaller alkanes.
What are hydrocarbons with only a single bond called?
A type of hydrocarbon that contains carbon atoms connected only by a single bond is called saturated hydrocarbon. It is the simplest form of the hydrocarbon species.
What are hydrocarbons called that have singular bonds between C and H atoms?
these are called alkanes.
What group of hydrocarbons contains saturated coumpounds?
These compounds are called alkanes.
Hydrocarbons which have only single bonds between carbon atoms?
All alkanes have single bonds.They consist of single bonds.
What is the difference between the carbon groups called alkanes and alkenes?
Alkenes have at least one double bond between two carbon atoms; alkanes don't.
Is petrol a mixture of alkanes and alkenes?
Petrol, also called gasoline, is a mixture of different hydrocarbons, mostly alkanes.
How can alkanes be described?
Alkanes can be described as saturated.
