Definition of alkane in English: alkanenoun ˈalkeɪnˈalˌkān Chemistry Any of the series of saturated hydrocarbons including methane, ethane, propane, and higher members. 〔化〕烷属烃 Alkanes have the general formula: CnH₂n₊₂ Example sentencesExamples - This method of production is still used although oxidation of methane, pyrolysis of alkanes, and cracking of hydrocarbons are more commonly encountered.
- Because the salts of these ions and the alkane sulfonates and alkyl hydrogen sulfates are largely water soluble, the detergent remains dispersed in the water.
- In some yeast species, peroxisomes may be induced by growth on methanol, alkanes, fatty acids, and cadmium.
- Furthermore, there was no evidence of ethyl esters, dimers, alkanes or alkenes, which might be expected for an oxidative reaction.
- Paraffin waxes are mixtures of high molecular weight alkanes, and therefore are not esters.
OriginLate 19th century: from alkyl + -ane2.
