==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
[[Alkane]]s are the simplest form of [[hydrocarbon]] [[molecule]]s with no [[Double Bond|double bonds]] and the [[General Formula (Chemistry)|general formula]]; C<sub>n</sub>H<sub>2n+2</sub>
===About Alkanes===
: [[Alkane]]s are a [[Homologous Series|homologous series]] of [[hydrocarbon]] [[compound]]s.
: The [[Functional Group|functional group]] of the [[Alkane]]s is the [[Single Bond|single bonds]] between the [[Carbon]] [[atom]]s and between the [[Carbon]] and [[Hydrogen]] [[atom]]s.
: [[Alkane]]s are long chains of [[Carbon]] [[atom]]s [[Covalent Bond|covalently bonded]] together with [[Single Bond|single bonds]] and [[Hydrogen]] [[atom]]s taking the remaining [[Chemical Bond|bonds]].
