Key Stage 4

Meaning

Alkanes are the simplest form of hydrocarbon compounds with no double bonds and the general formula; CnH2n+2

About Alkanes

Alkanes are a homologous series of hydrocarbon compounds.
The functional group of the Alkanes is the single bonds between the Carbon atoms and between the Carbon and Hydrogen atoms.
Alkanes are long chains of Carbon atoms covalently bonded together with single bonds and Hydrogen atoms taking the remaining bonds.

Examples

Methane Ethane Propane Butane
Chemical Formula (CnH2n+2) CH4 C2H6 C3H8 C4H10
Structural Formula CH4 CH3CH3 CH3CH2CH3 CH3CH2CH2CH3
