AI overview
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.
