Alkanes Background - Chemistry LibreTexts
2023年1月23日 · This is an introductory page about alkanes, such as methane, ethane, propane, butane and the remainder of the common alkanes. This page addresses their formulae and isomerism, their physical properties, and an introduction to their chemical reactivity.
3.5: Properties of Alkanes - Chemistry LibreTexts
In the case of methane, a large excess of the hydrocarbon favors formation of methyl chloride as the chief product; whereas, an excess of chlorine favors formation of chloroform and carbon tetrachloride.
Alkanes - Formula, Definition, Structure, Properties, List of Alkanes ...
Methane (CH4), ethane (C2H6), propane (C3H8) and butane (C4H10) are the first four alkanes. Methane gas, whose molecular formula is CH4, is the simplest alkane.
12.2: Structures and Names of Alkanes - Chemistry LibreTexts
Methane has a tetrahedral shape that chemists often portray with wedges indicating bonds coming out toward you and dashed lines indicating bonds that go back away from you. An ordinary solid line indicates a bond in the plane of the page.

Alkane - Wikipedia
Alkanes have the general chemical formula C n H 2n+2. The alkanes range in complexity from the simplest case of methane (CH 4), where n = 1 (sometimes called the parent molecule), to arbitrarily large and complex molecules, like pentacontane (C 50 H 102) or 6-ethyl-2-methyl-5-(1-methylethyl) octane, an isomer of tetradecane (C 14 H 30).
Methane - Wikipedia
Methane (US: / ˈmɛθeɪn / METH-ayn, UK: / ˈmiːθeɪn / MEE-thayn) is a chemical compound with the chemical formula CH4 (one carbon atom bonded to four hydrogen atoms). It is a group-14 hydride, the simplest alkane, and the main constituent of natural gas.
Alkanes - Chemistry LibreTexts
2023年1月23日 · Alkanes are organic compounds that consist entirely of single-bonded carbon and hydrogen atoms and lack any other functional groups. Alkanes have the general formula \ (C_nH_ {2n+2}\) and can be subdivided into the following three groups: the linear straight-chain alkanes, branched alkanes, and cycloalkanes.
3.3. Properties of alkanes | Organic Chemistry 1: An open textbook
Uses for alkanes. The simplest alkane is methane (CH 4), a colorless, odorless gas that is the major component of natural gas. Other simple alkanes are used as fuels and solvents.
3.2 Alkanes and Alkane Isomers - Organic Chemistry - OpenStax
Compounds like butane and pentane, whose carbons are all connected in a row, are called straight-chain alkanes, or normal alkanes. Compounds like 2-methylpropane (isobutane), 2-methylbutane, and 2,2-dimethylpropane, whose carbon …
