As you move down the list of alkanes, there is a consistent increase in molecular size and weight, leading to higher boiling and melting points. The number of carbon and hydrogen atoms increases, resulting in greater molecular complexity and stronger van der Waals forces. Additionally, the physical state of alkanes transitions from gaseous to liquid and eventually solid as the carbon chain lengthens.

What is a cracking of a oil fraction?
It is when you break large hydrocarbons/alkanes, into smaller more useful alkanes/alkenes. For example a large hydrocarbon in crude oil is Bitumen. By passing this substance over a hot catalyst, you can break it down into smaller hydrocarbons such as Petrol or Diesel
How do you form methane gas?
methane is the first (and most simple) of the homologous series known as alkanes. It can be formed many ways of which some are --> i) catalytic cracking --> in this process large alkanes are broken down into smaller simpler alkanes and alkenes (of which methane is one) ii) biogas/manure --> in the process of fermentation or anaerobic digestion of manure, about 50% to 75% of the gas released is Methane gas iii) fractional distillation of crude oil/petroleum --> methane is obtained in the top fraction in the fractional distillation of crude oil or petroleum.
Why does cracking produce alkenes and alkanes?
Cracking is a process that breaks down larger hydrocarbon molecules, typically found in crude oil, into smaller, more useful molecules like alkenes and alkanes. During this thermal or catalytic process, the carbon-carbon bonds in the long-chain hydrocarbons are broken, leading to the formation of shorter chains. Alkenes are produced due to the presence of unsaturated bonds formed during the cracking, while alkanes result from the saturated hydrocarbons that remain. The specific products depend on the conditions of the cracking process, such as temperature and catalysts used.
In halogenation of alkanes the reactions at room temperature is slow in dark while it is rapid in sunlight Why?
In the dark, the halogenation of alkanes is slow because it requires the presence of light to initiate the reaction. The reaction becomes rapid in sunlight because the light provides the energy needed to break the C-H bonds and initiate the radical chain reaction. This leads to the formation of reactive halogen radicals that can then further react with alkanes to produce halogenated products.
What trend does electroelectricity follow going down the periodic table?
Electronegativity DECREASES going down a group.
What is the acceptance rate at the Canterbury School?
Generally between 35%-40% and appears to be going down.
What is the pattern rule of AZBYCX?
Odd letters going "up" the alphabet, even letters going "down".
What is the process that converts large alkanes to small alkanes and alkenes is called?
The process that converts large alkanes to small alkanes and alkenes is called cracking. This process involves breaking down the larger hydrocarbon molecules into smaller, more valuable ones through the application of heat and sometimes a catalyst. Cracking is an important step in the production of gasoline and other valuable fuels.
Is Plaid a color or a pattern?
Plaid is a pattern that has lines crossing each other going up and down, and across.
What is a cracking of a oil fraction?
It is when you break large hydrocarbons/alkanes, into smaller more useful alkanes/alkenes. For example a large hydrocarbon in crude oil is Bitumen. By passing this substance over a hot catalyst, you can break it down into smaller hydrocarbons such as Petrol or Diesel
When you watch a sunset is the sun really going down?
No, the sun appears to go down due to the Earth's rotation. As Earth rotates, the sun becomes hidden by the horizon, creating the illusion of the sun setting.
What is the strumming pattern for the song Fifteen by Taylor Swift?
Strumming pattern for Fifteen are: down up up down up up down. The same as Fearless. and I think MAYBE you just pluck the last two strings instead of going down, I've tried both ways
What is the wrong side of a pattern?
If you flip the piece upside down so the writing is backwards, that's the "wrong side" of the pattern. Really, there is no "wrong side" of a pattern; if you wanted to lay the whole pattern on the fabric face down and cut it out that way, the garment would still work.There is sometimes a wrong side of fabric - get a pair of jeans and examine the inside, and you'll understand.
What is a meanander?
a meander is a type of walk where you dont look or care where you are going it is also where a river travels down the landscape in a wiggly pattern
Is descending going down or up?
Descending is going down, and ascending is going up.
Is smoking going up or down?
its going down. i think.
Why the rear wheels of the tractor are big?
when the wheels are larger the tractor appears to be going down hill making the load easier to pull. Much better for traction especially in mud and soft soil.
