Detailed explanation-1: -The alkanes happen to be the most basic of all hydrocarbons. They are made up of only C–C single bonds and C–H single bonds. Alkanes are known as saturated hydrocarbons in that all the bonds are single bonds.
Detailed explanation-2: -IUPAC Nomenclature. Although the nomenclature is not followed widely, according to IUPAC, an alkene is an acyclic hydrocarbon with just one double bond between carbon atoms.
Detailed explanation-3: -Only single bonds between carbon atoms. Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons because they have only single C-C bonds.
Detailed explanation-4: -The carbon atom in an alkane has four sp3 hybridized and forms four single bonds that are equidistant from each other. The shape is referred to as tetrahedral with a C-C bond length of 1.54 Å and bond angles of 109.5o.
