Electron Dot Structure Of Methane Ethane Propane Butane Pentane Hexane. A three carbon chain propane. In the following representations these hydrocarbons are drawn first as condensed structural formulas that show all carbons and hydrogens.
To name an alkane first identify the longest chain of carbon atoms in its structure. As the chain length numbers of carbons increases the melting and boiling points of the alkanes gradually increase for these compounds. The next three alkanes are propane butane and pentane.
As the chain length numbers of carbons increases the melting and boiling points of the alkanes gradually increase for these compounds.
As the chain length numbers of carbons increases the melting and boiling points of the alkanes gradually increase for these compounds. What is the general trend in the melting and boiling data. As the chain length numbers of carbons increases the melting and boiling points of the alkanes gradually increase for these compounds. Longer chains are named as follows.
