About Alcan
Saturated hydrocarbons are divided depending on the nature of acyclic saturated hydrocarbon chain in straight or branched (general formula CnH2n + 2) and cyclic saturated hydrocarbons (general formula CnH2n).
GENERAL FORMULA
In a molecule of carbon atoms in the alkane to be found 2n + 2 atoms of hydrogen. Therefore, the general formula is C n H 2n + 2 alkanes. Based on the formula can determine the molecular formula of any alkane if i know the number of carbon atoms. For example, a molecule containing two carbon atoms (n = 2), the number of hydrogen atoms is 2 * 2 + 2 = 6; Those hydrocarbon formula is so C2H6 (ethane).
Alkanes containing carbon atoms in sp3 hybridization condition. The first representative of a homologous series, which is the simplest organic compound is safe alkanes with carbon atom that binds to four hydrogen: methane CH4 formula.
