Ethane ; H3CCH3 NB Methane ' CH4 Propane ; CH3CH2CH3 Butane ; CH3CH2CH2CH3 et seq.
Example includes methane(CH4),ethane(C2H6),propane(C3H8)........ Alkanes and its occurence: -methane: natural, bio gas( bacterial decomposition) -pentane: gasoline -butane: fuel canister -hexane: gasoline -Propane: LPG, fuel
Three hydrocarbons are methane (CH4), ethane (C2H6), and propane (C3H8). These are organic compounds composed entirely of carbon and hydrogen atoms. They are often used as fuels due to their high energy content.
Methane: CH4 Ethane: C2H6 Propane: C3H8 Butane: C4H10 Usually a mixture of these.
mainly methane(CH4){approximately 95%}with small traces of ethane (C2H6)and propane(C3H8)
The valency of carbon in CH4 is 4, as it forms four covalent bonds with hydrogen. In C2H2, the valency of carbon is 2, as it forms two covalent bonds with hydrogen. In C2H6, the valency of carbon is 4, as it forms four covalent bonds with hydrogen.
Hydrocarbons such as methane (CH4), ethane (C2H6), and propane (C3H8) do not contain any oxygen atoms.

The first four alkanes are methane (CH4), ethane (C2H6), propane (C3H8), and butane (C4H10).
Examples: CH4 and C2H6, CuCl and CuCl2, NaO and Na2O, etc.
The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of ethane (C2H6) in oxygen is: 2 C2H6 + 7 O2 → 4 CO2 + 6 H2O
Methane: CH4+2O2->CO2+2H2OEthane: C2H6+3.5O2->2CO2+3H2OEthene: C2H4+6O2->2CO2+2H2ODo note decimals are allowed in the equation. However, it is best to put into whole numbers (for equation of ethane, multiply all the numbers by 2 except those in compounds/elements).
