Alkan, doymuş alifatik hidrokarbonların genel adı, parafin. Alkanlar, karbonun bağlayabileceği maksimum hidrojenlere sahip anlamına gelen doymuş hidrokarbonlardır ve CnH2n+2 genel formülüne sahiptirler
Definition von alkane im Englisch Englisch wörterbuch
Any of saturated hydrocarbons including methane, ethane and compounds with long carbon chain known as paraffins etc., having a chemical formula of the form CnH2n+2
or paraffin Any of a class of hydrocarbons whose molecules consist only of carbon and hydrogen atoms joined by single covalent bonds (general formula CnH(2n + 2)). The simplest is methane (CH4). Alkanes with more than three carbon atoms may have straight and branched isomers. Cycloalkanes have ring structures (but are not aromatic compounds) with two fewer hydrogen atoms per molecule than the corresponding alkane; many have more than one ring. Commercial sources include petroleum and natural gas. Uses, often as mixtures, include fuels, solvents, and raw materials. See also paraffin
A hydrocarbon with the generic formula CnH2n+2 that contains only C-C and C-H bonds
(chem) A general name for HYDROCARBON of the METHANE series F - paraffine S - alcano
Any of saturated hydrocarbons including methane, ethane and compounds with long carbon chain known as paraffins etc., having a chemical formula of the form C{n}H{2n+2}
A group of saturated open-chain hydrocarbons having the general formula C, the most abundant of which is methane. Also called methane series, paraffin series
