In an alkane, each carbon atom is bonded to 4 hydrogen atoms. So, the number of hydrogens in an alkane can be determined by the formula 2n+2, where n is the number of carbon atoms in the alkane.
Yes, C5H12 is an alkane. It is specifically known as pentane, which is a straight-chain alkane with five carbon atoms and twelve hydrogen atoms.
The IUPAC name for the alkane given is the systematic name assigned to the specific alkane based on its structure and number of carbon atoms.
no.all alkenes end with 'ene' .methane is not an alkene cause it does not end with 'ene'.it is an alkane cause it ends with 'ane'
3-methylhexane
No, there are many alkanes; methane is the simplest alkane.
Yes, if the alkane is cyclic and the alkene is not.
In an alkane, each carbon atom is bonded to 4 hydrogen atoms. So, the number of hydrogens in an alkane can be determined by the formula 2n+2, where n is the number of carbon atoms in the alkane.
No. Octane is an alkane but it has eight carbons.
Yes, C5H12 is an alkane. It is specifically known as pentane, which is a straight-chain alkane with five carbon atoms and twelve hydrogen atoms.

No , it does not. Alkane react with ozone . Gil Tenne
In chemistry the cracking of a long alkane chain produces and alkane and an alkene.
alkane.
no.all alkenes end with 'ene' .methane is not an alkene cause it does not end with 'ene'.it is an alkane cause it ends with 'ane'

The pharmaceutical use of alkane is often used in general anesthesia. Alkane is a compound of halothane which is a general anesthetic agent.
