Definition of alkane in English English dictionary

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}

{i} chemical compound of the alkane series

Straight chain or branched organic structure that lacks double bonds

a non-aromatic saturated hydrocarbon with the general formula CnH(2n+2)

family of hydrocarbons containing all single bonds

Any hydrocarbon molecule with the maximum ratio of hydrogen to carbon The general formula for alkanes is CnH2n+2, where n is 1, 2, 3, etc

A saturated hydrocarbon whose carbon atoms are arranged in an open chain

A hydrocarbon with the generic formula CnH2n+2 that contains only C-C and C-H bonds Aka saturated hydrocarbon
