Facts About Alkanes by Healthblog123(m): 10:24pm On Oct 13, 2017
Alkanes are the first family of hydrocarbons. They are saturated hydrocarbons. They are usually stable at room temperature (25`C) towards reactants such as concentrated aqueous acids and bases. They have the general formula CnH2n+2, where "n" is the number of carbon atoms. So, when there are just three (3) carbon atoms, the formula of such alkane will be C3H2(3)+2, which is: C3H8.
Alkanes are represented as R--H or R--R', where R and R' represent alkyl groups such as CH3.
.
IUPAC RULES FOR NAMING THE ALKANES
1. The name ending for all alkanes (and cycloalkanes) is -ane.
2. The parent chain is the longest continuous chain of carbons in the structure.
3. A prefix that specifies the number of carbon atoms in the parent chain is attached to the name ending, -ane.
4. If two different chains of equal length are present, chose the one with the greater number of branch points also called substituents.
