Are hydrogen bonds formed between any molecules that contain hydrogen?
NO! the requirement is for hydrogen to be bonded to a very electronegative atom such as oxygen or fluorine. Alkanes, e.g. C2H6, contain C-H bonds and there are no hydrogen bonds.
Do alkanes contain phosphorus?
No. alkanes contain only hydrogen and carbon.
Is hydrogen an alkane?
No, hydrogen is an element. Alkanes are a class of compounds containing both hydrogen and carbon.
Are carbon- hydrogen bonds of alkalanes polar?
carbon-hydrogen bonds of alkanes are not polar.
Why don't alkanes appear in the periodic table?
periodic table is the table of elements while alkanes are compounds of carbon and hydrogen.

Do alkanes contain phosphorus?
No. alkanes contain only hydrogen and carbon.
Why don't alkanes undergo fluorination?
because halogenation of alkanes with fluorine is very violently exothermic i.e explosive in nature .
Is hydrogen an alkane?
No, hydrogen is an element. Alkanes are a class of compounds containing both hydrogen and carbon.
Which two chemicals contains hydrogen?
alkenes and alkanes
Are carbon- hydrogen bonds of alkalanes polar?
carbon-hydrogen bonds of alkanes are not polar.
What is the name of the compound formula FCI3?
Compounds with this collection of elements are generally called halogenated alkanes, because you take a hydrocarbon and replace the hydrogens with halogens (either fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine.) This specific one would be named fluorotriiodomethane.
Why don't alkanes appear in the periodic table?
periodic table is the table of elements while alkanes are compounds of carbon and hydrogen.
Which compounds have the maximum possible number of hydrogen atoms on their carbon chain?
The alkanes have this feature.The entire group of alkanes has this characteristic.alkane
Alkanes and Alkenes both contain only what 2 elements?
Carbon and hydrogen.
What elements are considered as hydrocarbon derivatives?
Hydrocarbon derivatives include compounds that contain carbon and hydrogen atoms, but also other elements such as oxygen, nitrogen, halogens (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine), sulfur, and phosphorus. Examples of hydrocarbon derivatives include alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, esters, amines, amides, halogenated hydrocarbons (such as chloroform), thiols, and thioketones.
Why are alkanes saturated?
This is because they have a large number of hydrogen atoms attached to the carbon atoms
