The Chemistry of Alkanes by Stephanie Carbajal https://padlet.com/stephaniecarbajal85/mlw50rjcunktm3ls any of numerous saturated hydrocarbons en-us 2022-05-17 02:56:35 UTC 2022-05-19 02:21:39 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f52c.png Definition stephaniecarbajal85 https://padlet.com/stephaniecarbajal85/mlw50rjcunktm3ls/wish/2190336657 Alkanes are chemical compounds that consist of carbon (C) and hydrogen (H) atoms, so they are also called hydrocarbons. The chemical structure of alkanes only consists of single bonds.]]> 2022-05-19 00:29:01 UTC https://padlet.com/stephaniecarbajal85/mlw50rjcunktm3ls/wish/2190336657 Structures stephaniecarbajal85 https://padlet.com/stephaniecarbajal85/mlw50rjcunktm3ls/wish/2190405080 2022-05-19 01:23:13 UTC https://padlet.com/stephaniecarbajal85/mlw50rjcunktm3ls/wish/2190405080 Uses stephaniecarbajal85 https://padlet.com/stephaniecarbajal85/mlw50rjcunktm3ls/wish/2190420215 -Methane, ethane, propane, and butane are gases at room 
temperature and used as fuels.

-Alkanes with 5-15 carbon atoms are liquids and found in gasoline, diesel, and jet fuels.

-Alkanes with 16 or more carbon atoms are solids and found in the waxy coatings of fruits and vegetables.]]> 2022-05-19 01:33:54 UTC https://padlet.com/stephaniecarbajal85/mlw50rjcunktm3ls/wish/2190420215 Physical Properties stephaniecarbajal85 https://padlet.com/stephaniecarbajal85/mlw50rjcunktm3ls/wish/2190430712
  • Due to very little difference of electronegativity between carbon and hydrogen and covalent nature of C-C bond or C-H bond, alkanes are generally non-polar molecules.
  • The straight-chain alkanes are observed to have a higher boiling point in comparison to their structural isomers.
  • The melting point of alkanes follow the same trend as their boiling point that is, it increases with increase in molecular weight.

Alkanes burn in oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water vapor. 

    -The halogenation of alkanes forms haloalkanes via free radical reaction mechanism.

    - Application of alkanes is in oxidation reactions, they are used in internal combustion engines as fuel.]]>     2022-05-19 01:52:27 UTC https://padlet.com/stephaniecarbajal85/mlw50rjcunktm3ls/wish/2190447794     Interesting Facts stephaniecarbajal85 https://padlet.com/stephaniecarbajal85/mlw50rjcunktm3ls/wish/2190455654
  • The simplest alkane is methane, which is made of one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms. 
  • Larger alkanes have two or more carbon atoms connected or bonded together in a chain.
  • The alkane's general formula is CnH2n+2.
