Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following compounds is an example of an alkane?
  • Step 1: Understand what an alkane is. An alkane is a type of hydrocarbon that only has single bonds between carbon atoms.
  • Step 2: Know the general formula for alkanes, which is CnH(2n+2), where 'n' is the number of carbon atoms.
  • Step 3: Identify the compound given in the question, which is C4H10.
  • Step 4: Check if C4H10 fits the alkane formula. Here, n = 4, so we calculate: 2(4) + 2 = 10.
  • Step 5: Since C4H10 matches the formula, it confirms that C4H10 is an alkane.
