Alkanes contain only carbon-carbon single bonds and hydrogen bonds. Formula for alkanes without rings is CnH2n+2. Alkanes can be straight-chain (up to 2 carbons) or branched-chain. Alkanes are saturated with hydrogen and called paraffins. Physical properties increase with alkane size
Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons with single sigma bonds between carbon and hydrogen. Carbon atoms are sp3 hybridized and form tetrahedral structures. Carbon-carbon bonds are 1.53 Ao long, carbon-hydrogen bonds are 1.10 Ao
Saturated hydrocarbons contain maximum possible hydrogens without breaking carbon-carbon bonds. Alkanes and cycloalkanes are classified as saturated or cyclic based on ring/chain arrangement. IUPAC nomenclature uses root, suffix, and substituent group names
Hydrocarbons are organic compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen. They are found in fossil fuels, trees, and plants. More than 98% of natural crude rubber is a hydrocarbon polymer
Hydrocarbons are organic compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen. They are found in fossil fuels, trees, and plants, including carotenes. More than 98% of natural crude rubber is a hydrocarbon polymer
Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons containing only carbon and hydrogen. They form a homologous series from methane (CH4) to decane (C9H10). Alkanes are named using Greek/Latin numerals and -ane ending
