A straight-chain alkane is an alkane with all carbon atoms in a single chain. The list shows the number of carbon atoms, isomers, molecular formula and common name of each straight-chain alkane, including ethane, propane and methane.
A functional group is a substituent or moiety in a molecule that causes the molecule's characteristic chemical reactions. Learn about the types, properties, and examples of common functional groups in organic chemistry, such as alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, halogens, and oxygen compounds.
An alkyl group is an alkane-based molecular fragment that bears one open valence for bonding. They are generally abbreviated with the symbol for any organyl group, R, although Alk is sometimes used to specifically symbolize an alkyl group (as opposed to an alkenyl group or aryl group).
PFAS are synthetic organofluorine compounds that have multiple fluorine atoms attached to an alkyl chain. They are used in many products and pose health and environmental risks due to their persistence and bioaccumulation.
