At normal pressure, the alkanes pentane (C5H12) through decane (C10H22) are liquids. Alkanes are organic compounds consisting of a single carbon chain of single covalently bonded carbon atoms surrounded by hydrogen atoms.

What is the longest continuous carbon chain of a branched-chain hydrocarbon?

The longest continuous carbon chain of a branched-chain hydrocarbon is called the main chain or parent chain. It consists of the carbon atoms that form a continuous chain without any branching or side chains attached to it.


Why are alkane called olefins?

Alkenes are also called OLEFINS because they form oily liquids on reaction with chlorine gas.


Which compound may be formed when alkanes are cracked?

When an alkane is cracked, alkenes and shorter alkanes are produced.


Do liquids have to be continuous and in an open system to transmit forces?

No, liquids do not have to be continuous or in an open system to transmit forces. Liquids can transmit forces through hydraulic systems, where pressure is applied at one point in the liquid and transmitted evenly to other areas, allowing for force to be transferred over distances without the need for continuous flow or open systems.


What is the root or base name of this compound ALKANE?

The root or base name of an alkane compound is determined by the number of carbon atoms in its longest continuous chain. For example, in the compound "octane", the base name is "oct-" because the longest chain contains 8 carbon atoms.

No, there are many alkanes; methane is the simplest alkane.


Is it possible for an alkane to be an isomer of an alkene?

Yes, if the alkane is cyclic and the alkene is not.


How many hydrogens in alkane?

In an alkane, each carbon atom is bonded to 4 hydrogen atoms. So, the number of hydrogens in an alkane can be determined by the formula 2n+2, where n is the number of carbon atoms in the alkane.
