a non-aromatic saturated acyclic hydrocarbon with the general formula CnH(2n+2). A member of the alkane series.
a hydrocarbon without a double bond, triple bond, or ring structure.
A simple saturated hydrocarbon chain.
The general name for linear or branched aliphatic hydrocarbons that contain no double or triple bonds.
saturated, acyclic hydrocarbon structure; usually quite inert.
A hydrocarbon with the generic formula CnH2n+2 that contains only C-C and C-H bonds.
Compound of carbon and hydrogen that has only single covalent bonds. An example is ethane (CH CH).
Saturated hydrocarbon (i.e., containing only single bonds between pairs of carbon atoms and carbon-hydrogen pairs). In the strict usage this refers to molecules in which the skeleton of carbon-carbon single bonds has the form of a Cayley tree and so exhibits the chemical formula C H2+2; occasionally it refers to saturated hydrocarbons with cyclic skeletal closures (cycloalkanes) that have lower relative hydrogen content.
Alkaani Alkan A hydrocarbon that contains only carbon-carbon single bonds
An aliphatic hydrocarbon having the chemical formula CnH2n+2 A normal alkane, or n-alkane is one which does not have a branched carbon backbone. An iso-alkane has a branched, rather than a straight chain, carbon backbone. Alkanes are also known as paraffins. The simplest alkanes are named as follows: CH4 methane C6H14 hexane C2H6 ethane C7H16 heptane C3H8 propane C8H18 octane C4H10 butane C9H20 nonane C5H12 pentane C10H22 decane
a compound made up of only hydrogen and carbon ( hydrocarbon ) that has only single bonds in it
a hydrocarbon consisting only of single carbon-carbon bonds
a hydrocarbon in which each carbon atom is bonded to four other carbon or hydrogen atoms
a saturated hydrocarbon with the general formula CnH2n12.
Any hydrocarbon molecule with the maximum ratio of hydrogen to carbon. The general formula for alkanes is CnH2n+2, where n is 1, 2, 3, etc.
A saturated hydrocarbon with the general formula CnH2n+2.
A chemical compound consisting of nothing but carbon and hydrogen atoms. The carbon atoms are joined to each other by single covalent bonds only (C-C).
A saturated carbon compound with the general formula CnH2n+2, such as propane or butane. CH3-CH2-CH2-CH3 Butane
paraffin. Compare with hydrocarbon and alkene. A series of organic compounds with general formula CnH2n+2. Alkane names end with -ane. Examples are propane (with n=3) and octane (with n=8).
A hydrocarbon with single bonded Carbon atoms in chain formation.
Alkanes are chemical compounds that consists only of the elements carbon (C) and hydrogen (H) (i.e. hydrocarbons), wherein each of these atoms are linked together exclusively by single bonds (i.e. they are saturated compounds).
