The homologous series of straight-chained alkanes begins methane (CH 4), ethane (C 2 H 6), propane (C 3 H 8), butane (C 4 H 10), and pentane (C 5 H 12). In that series, successive members differ in mass by an extra methylene bridge (-CH 2 - unit) inserted in the chain. Thus the molecular mass of each member differs by 14 atomic mass units ...
Alkanes form a small portion of the atmospheres of the outer gas planets such as Jupiter (0.1% methane, 2 ppm ethane), Saturn (0.2% methane, 5 ppm ethane), Uranus (1.99% methane, 2.5 ppm ethane) and Neptune (1.5% methane, 1.5 ppm ethane). Titan (1.6% methane), a satellite of Saturn, was examined by the Huygens probe, which indicated that Titan ...
Ball-and-stick model of the methane molecule, CH 4. Methane is part of a homologous series known as the alkanes, which contain single bonds only. In organic chemistry, a hydrocarbon is an organic compound consisting entirely of hydrogen and carbon. [1]: 620 Hydrocarbons are examples of group 14 hydrides.
Methane (US: / ˈ m ɛ θ eɪ n / METH-ayn, UK: / ˈ m iː θ eɪ n / MEE-thayn) is a chemical compound with the chemical formula CH 4 (one carbon atom bonded to four hydrogen atoms). It is a group-14 hydride , the simplest alkane , and the main constituent of natural gas .
Butane (/ ˈ b juː t eɪ n /) is an alkane with the formula C 4 H 10. Butane exists as two isomers, n -butane with connectivity CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 CH 3 and iso-butane with the formula (CH 3 ) 3 CH . Both isomers are highly flammable, colorless, easily liquefied gases that quickly vaporize at room temperature and pressure.

Ethane (US: / ˈ ɛ θ eɪ n / ETH-ayn, UK: / ˈ iː θ eɪ n / EE-thayn) is a naturally occurring organic chemical compound with chemical formula C 2 H 6. At standard temperature and pressure, ethane is a colorless, odorless gas. Like many hydrocarbons, ethane is isolated on an industrial scale from natural gas and as a petrochemical by ...
