Yes, ethane is the only 2-carbon alkane.
Its alkene because ethene would be alkene and for example ethanol would be alkane.
Edit: The molecular formula of ethene (IUPAC name ethylene) is C2H4. The two carbon atoms will form a double bond (with each other) and single bonds with the 4 remaining H atoms.
Alkenes are carbon compounds that have atleast one double bond present in their structure. Hence ethene is an alkene.
Alkanes end in -ane.
Alkenes end in -ene.
Alkynes end in -yne.
Ethyne ends in -yne so, that makes it an alkyne. A synonym for the compound is Acetylene but, that does not follow the IUPAC naming procedure. Regardless, the formula is C2H2 with a triple bond between the two carbons.
Yes it is an alkene. It is in fact the smallest alkene molecule. Its chemical formula is C2 H4. Hope this helps :P

CH2-CH3
2-ethylhexane is an alkane as all its carbons are saturated i.e it contains only singly bonded carbon atoms.
The general formula of linear alkanes is CnH2n+2; ethane, with the formula C2H6, is clearly a member of this family.
No. it is an alcohol, containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Alkanes only contain carbon and hydrogen.
No, ethanol is an alcohol
No, it is an alkane.
Ethane is a saturated hydrocarbon of Alkane family of organic compound
ethane is CH3-CH3, an alkane ethylene is CH2=CH2, an alkene.
Any number of chemical moieties could react with alkanes to produce new compounds in a substitution reaction. For example, hydrohalic acids (HCl, HBr, HI) could react with an alkane to produce a haloalkane. Here, the halogen atom would replace one of the hydrogen atoms in the alkane. (HCl + ethane --> chloroethane) (HBr + propane --> bromopropane) This also works with other reactive species, such as: - nitric acid + alkane --> nitroalkane
1 carbon - methane 2 carbons - ethane 3 - propane 4 - butane 5 - pentane 6 - hexane 7 - heptane 8 - octane
Methane is an alkane with one carbon atom. Its relatives (or elements in homologous series) are ethane, propane and butane with 2, 3 and 4 carbon atoms respectively.
Ethane is a saturated hydrocarbon of Alkane family of organic compound
Ethane is an alkane with the chemical formula C2H6. Ethanol is an alcohol with the chemical formula C2H5OH, corresponding to ethane.
ethane is CH3-CH3, an alkane ethylene is CH2=CH2, an alkene.
No, ethane is an alkane, which is a type of hydrocarbon. Halogens on the other hand are elements in group 7 of the periodic table.
(Ethane) Saturated Alkane
An organic molecule An alkane A symmetric molecule
In chemistry, ethanol is a classified as an "alkane". It is also grouped as one of many "hydrocarbons", meaning it consists of only hydrogen and carbon atoms. It is also an "alcohol". I think ethane (alkane) and suffix of alcohol is how its name is derived.
methane, ethane, propane, hexane .... these are some of the famous alkanes
Methane is the main component of natural gas and the simplest alkane. Ethane is a byproduct of petroleum refining and is colorless and odorless. Propane is a byproduct of both petroleum refining and natural gas processing.
Comparing ethane and ethene . there proportionally more hydrogens in ethane. Conversely there are proportionally more carbons in ethene. Ethane C:H:: 1:3 or 1/3 : 1 Ethene C:H :: 1:2 or 1/2 : 1 Since the fraction '1/2' > 1/3' then more carbon (soot).
Large - think they're C25+ The alkane molecules which have small numbers of carbon are Methane (CH4) Ethane (C2H6) etc - they have lower boiling points and are more useful as fuels etc.
