Alkanes By:Evan Johnson

Definition:● Alkanes have a saturated single bond

● Their bond angle is 109.5 degrees because of its tetrahedral

shape

● The rotation of these alkanes is free with its open mobility and

lesser bond

Butane contains 4 Carbons & 10 Hydrogen molecules

2,3 dimethyl Hexane’s parent chain has 6 total carbons and 2 methyl groups (which is off the 2nd and 3rd carbon)Picture Slide I

3 ethyl pentane’s main/parent chain contains 5 carbons and contains an ethyl group off of the 3rd carbon

Picture Slide II

Examples•Some examples of alkanes being used are from polar regions that helped develop fuels. Such is kerosene and gasoline. •They also help with anti-corrosive

Summary● Alkanes have a saturated hydrocarbon single bond

● Their bond angle is 109.5 degrees because of its tetrahedral

shape

● The rotation of these alkanes is free with its open mobility and

lesser bond because of their lack of electrons
