Long-chain alkanes can be broken into smaller hydrocarbons in a process called cracking, which may be thermal or catalytic.
alkenes
Alkanes have carbon atoms bonded by single bonds, and follow the formula CnH2n+2. Alkenes on the other hand always have one double bond somewhere between a pair of carbon atoms, explaining why they follw the general formula CnH2n.
the process of rain is called precipitation
This process is called transpiration.
osmosis or The Water Cycle: Transpiration- evaporation from the leaves of plants
This is usually called cracking; It produces unsaturated hydrocarbons as well as smaller alkanes.
Alkenes have at least one double bond between two carbon atoms; alkanes don't.
They can be alkanes,alkenes and alkynes. They are commonly called hydrocarbons.
Petrol, also called gasoline, is a mixture of different hydrocarbons, mostly alkanes.
Many compounds are composed of only carbon and hydrogen. These are the core of the group called hydrocarbons. They include compounds such as:methaneoctanepentanebenzenetoluenexylene
By putting crude oil through a process called fractional distilation.
Organic compounds called Alkenes turns Bromine to colourless from orange-ish without sunlight as a catalyst. Alkanes however require sunlight to react.
They are formed from the products (i.e alkenes and alkanes) of the fractional distillation of crude oil. Alkenes and alkanes are hydrocarbons - their molecules consist of hydrogen and carbon only. Monomers of these substances bond to form long chains called polymers. Polymers are what make up plastics.
because of their unreactive nature alkanes are called parrafins
because of their unreactive nature alkanes are called parrafins
For hydrocarbons with one or more single bonds between carbon atoms, the molecules are called alkanes, and the suffix is "-ane".With one or more double bonds, these molecules are called alkenes the suffix is "-ene".With one or more triple bonds, the molecules are called alkynes, and the suffix is "-yne".
Yes, since hydrocarbons are compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen, and alkenes fit this description. More specifically, alkenes contain at least one C to C double bond (but no triple bonds) and their general formula is CnH2n+2
