PROPANE. Structurally it is 'CH3-CH2- CH3'.
NB
#1 The 'prop' moiety indicates that there are three(3) carbons.
#2 the 'ane' moiety indicates that it is an Alkane.

What is the formula for the alkane containing 100 hydrogens?
The alkane with 100 hydrogen would be C49H100.The 100 hydrogen will have 49 carbons attached.The carbons on the ends would have 3 hydrogen each so the hydrogen left are 94 so the Carbon in the chain can only have 2 hydrogen each.Therefore the no of hydrogen in between will have 47 carbons and two carbons on the end. 47+2 =49 carbons.
The alkane of eight carbons is?
1 carbon - methane 2 carbons - ethane 3 - propane 4 - butane 5 - pentane 6 - hexane 7 - heptane 8 - octane
What is the condensed structural formula for an alkane with four carbon atoms?
C10H22 It is a chain of 7 carbons, with a branch on the 4th carbon, that branch is 3 carbons long.
How many carbons does G3P have?
G3P is a 3 carbons sugar.
Which molecule is a branched alkane?
3-methylhexane

Is 2-methylpentane an alkane alkene or an alcohol?
Yes but you have to draw it as a 3 carbon ring structure (like a triangle) and the 1st carbon would have a CH3 and an OH.
Is 3-methyloctane an alkane an alkene or alcohol?
alkane
Is 3-heptene an alkane alkene or an alcohol?
The name of 3-heptene gives it away, for alkenes end in -ene. Heptene is a carbon chain of 7 carbons, and alkenes have a double bond between carbons at the noted carbon (3), so this double bond is between C3 and C4, and the chain is otherwise completely hydrogenated. You might write the structure as: CH3CH2CH=CHCH2CH2CH3
In alkanes carbon is bonded to how many other atoms?
Four. A terminal carbon in an alkane is bonded to 3 hydrogens and 1 carbon, while a middle carbon is bonded to 2 hydrogens and 2 carbons.
What is formula for alkane?
any alkane consists of a string of carbon molecules with covalent SINGLE bonds between adjacent carbon atoms. The carbon atoms are then single bonded to two hydrogen atoms each, and the carbon atoms on the end of the chain that are only bonded to one other carbon atom each get 3 hydrogens. so an alkane with 2 carbons gets 6 hydrogen, an alkane with 3 carbons gets 8, an alkane with 4 carbons gets 10, etc. So the formula is CnH2n+2. This means if you have 'n' carbon atoms in the alkane, you have 2n+2 hydrogen atoms.
How many carbons does the alkane decane contain?
Decane has 10 carbons, C10H22. The nomenclature uses Latin root names. Meth = 1 Eth =2 Prop = 3 But = 4 Pent = 5 Hex = 6 Hept = 7 Oct = 8 Non= 9 Dec = 10
How many carbons does 1 molecule of pyruvate have?
Pyruvic acid is C3H4O3 and has 3 carbon atoms.
How many carbons does G3P have?
G3P is a 3 carbons sugar.
Which molecule is a branched alkane?
3-methylhexane
