At normal pressure, the alkanes pentane (C5H12) through decane (C10H22) are liquids. Alkanes are organic compounds consisting of a single carbon chain of single covalently bonded carbon atoms surrounded by hydrogen atoms.

∙ 9y agoAlkanes are saturated hydrocarbon chains. Their general formula
is C sub nH sub 2n+2 ; like C5H12. The alkanes that are liquid at 60 F and 14.7 psia include
the following :
n-pentane ( C5H12 ) ; n-hexane ( C6H12 ) ; n-heptane ( C7H16 ) ; n-octane ( C8H18 )
n-nonane ( C9H20 ) ; n-decane ( C10H22 )
There do exist isomers of these alkanes that are branched chain saturated hydrocarbons;
such as 2-methylpropane , 2-mthylybutane, 2,2-dimethylpropane.

Why are alkane called olefins?
Alkenes are also called OLEFINS because they form oily liquids on reaction with chlorine gas.
What is the carbon content of kerosene?
Kerosene is comprised of multiple types of alkane (hydrocarbon) chains. These chains can vary between 6 to 18 carbons long. Cycloalkanes and aromatics (benzenes) are among kerosene's hydrocarbon constituents.
What is the longest continuous carbon chain of a branched-chain hydrocarbon?

Is 3-methyloctane an alkane an alkene or alcohol?
alkane
Describe the polarity of alkane molecules?
Alkane molecules are nonpolar.
Is methane is the only alkane?
No, there are many alkanes; methane is the simplest alkane.
Is it possible for an alkane to be an isomer of an alkene?
Yes, if the alkane is cyclic and the alkene is not.
What is an alkane with one or more attached alkyl groups?
Branched chained alkane
Is Octane is seven carbon linear alkane?
No. Octane is an alkane but it has eight carbons.
