Detailed explanation-1: -The general formula for the homologous series of alkanes is CnH2n+2 where n is the number of carbon atoms. All alkanes end in, “ane”. The first four alkanes in the homologous series retain their original names.
Detailed explanation-2: -A common “ane” suffix identifies these compounds as alkanes. Longer chain alkanes are well known, and their names may be found in many reference and text books.
Detailed explanation-3: -So, the given statement is True. The names of all saturated hydrocarbons end with-ane.
Detailed explanation-4: -A homologous series is a family of hydrocarbons with similar chemical properties who share the same general formula e.g. alkanes, alkenes, cycloalkanes. Alkanes Their names all end in –ane.
