Example includes methane(CH4),ethane(C2H6),propane(C3H8)........
Alkanes and its occurence:
-methane: natural, bio gas( bacterial decomposition)
-pentane: gasoline
-butane: fuel canister
-hexane: gasoline
-Propane: LPG, fuel
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.
Yes. The alkane series is the series of saturated hydrocarbons with the formula CnHn+2 .
The IUPAC name for the alkane given is the systematic name assigned to the specific alkane based on its structure and number of carbon atoms.
no.all alkenes end with 'ene' .methane is not an alkene cause it does not end with 'ene'.it is an alkane cause it ends with 'ane'
3-methylhexane
No, there are many alkanes; methane is the simplest alkane.
Yes, if the alkane is cyclic and the alkene is not.
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.
No. Octane is an alkane but it has eight carbons.
Yes. The alkane series is the series of saturated hydrocarbons with the formula CnHn+2 .
The IUPAC name for the alkane given is the systematic name assigned to the specific alkane based on its structure and number of carbon atoms.
Alkane
No , it does not. Alkane react with ozone . Gil Tenne
In chemistry the cracking of a long alkane chain produces and alkane and an alkene.
no.all alkenes end with 'ene' .methane is not an alkene cause it does not end with 'ene'.it is an alkane cause it ends with 'ane'
3-methylhexane
The pharmaceutical use of alkane is often used in general anesthesia. Alkane is a compound of halothane which is a general anesthetic agent.
