Alkanes
Alkanes are saturated, open chain hydrocarbons containing carbon-carbon single bonds. e.g., methane (CH4), ethane (C4H6) propane (C3H8), etc.
These hydrocarbons are inert under normal conditions [i.e.,do not react with acids. bases and other reagents). Hence, they were earlier known 88 paraffins (Latin : parum-little; affins-affinity)
Alkanes exhibit chain isomensm, position isomerism and conformational isomerism.
