An alkane is a type of molecule made up of carbon and hydrogen atoms arranged in chains or rings, with methane being the simplest example. Alkanes are important because they form the basis of many fuels like natural gas and oil, and are fundamental building blocks for countless chemicals we use daily.

Article · Español
Los alcanos son hidrocarburos, es decir, son compuestos que solo contienen átomos de carbono e hidrógeno. La fórmula general para alcanos alifáticos (de cadena lineal) es CnH2n+2, y para cicloalcanos es CnH2n. También reciben el nombre de hidrocarburos saturados, ya que carecen de enlaces dobles o triples y, por tanto, todos sus carbonos presentan hibridación sp3. Además, carecen de grupos funcionales.
