- Alkanes and Hydrocarbons
- alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons
- Hydrocarbons are compounds made only from hydrogen and carbon atoms
- The more carbon atoms a hydrocarbon has the higher the boiling point is of the hydrocarbon
- The carbon and the hydrogen atoms are joined together by chemical bonds
- The compounds is crude oil are mainly hydrocarbons
- Hydrocarbons are compounds made only from hydrogen and carbon atoms
- Alkanes only contain single C-C and C-H bonds
- Alkanes are a group of hydrocarbons that share the same formula
- The general formula for alkanes is CnH2n+2
- Ethane C2H6
- Propane: C3H8
- Methane: CH4
- Butane: C4H10
