In organic chemistry an, paraffin, alkane or (a still-used historical name that also has other meanings), is a, saturatedhydrocarbon. Alkanes consist only of hydrogen and carbon atoms and all bonds are single bonds. [], 1 Alkanes (technically always acyclic). Have the general chemical formula CnH2n 2.Alkanes belong to a homologous series of organic compounds in which the members differ by a molecular mass of 14.03u (mass. Of a methanediyl group - - one, CH2, carbon atom of, mass 12.01u and two hydrogen atoms of mass ≈ 1.01u each). There are two. Main commercial sources: crude oil [] and 2 natural gas.
Each carbon atom has 4 bonds (either C-H or C-C bonds),And each hydrogen atom is joined to a carbon atom (H-C bonds). A series of linked carbon atoms is known as the carbon. Skeleton or carbon backbone. The number of carbon atoms is used to define the size of the alkane (e.g, C2-alkane).
An alkyl. Group generally abbreviated, with the, symbol R is a functional group or side-chain that like an alkane,,Consists solely of single-bonded carbon and, hydrogen atoms for example a methyl or ethyl group.
The simplest possible. Alkane (the parent molecule), is methane CH4. There is no limit to the number of carbon atoms that can be, linked together. The only limitation being that the molecule is acyclic is saturated, and is, a hydrocarbon.Saturated oils and waxesare examples of larger alkanes where the number of carbons in the carbon backbone is greater than. 10.
Alkanes are not very reactive and have little biological activity. All alkanes are colourless and odourless. Alkanes. Can be viewed as a molecular tree upon which can be hung the more biologically active / reactive portions (functional groups). Of the molecule.
