Question

Complete the blanks :

Number of carbon atoms ( $n$ )	Name of alkane (saturated hydrocarbon)	Molecular formula	Structural formula
$1$		${CH}_{4}$
$2$	Ethane
$3$	Propane	$C_{3} H_{8}$
$4$	Butane
$5$		$C_{5} H_{12}$

Accepted Answer

1) The name of the alkane for $n = 1$ is methane, the molecular formula is ${CH}_{4}$ and the structural formula is

2) The name of the alkane for $n = 2$ is ethane, the molecular formula is $C_{2} H_{6}$ and the structural formula is

3) Propane has three carbon atoms with single covalent 1 bonds between carbon atoms. The name of the alkane for $n = 3$ is propane, the molecular formula is $C_{3} H_{8}$ and the structural formula is

4) The name of the alkane for $n = 4$ is butane, the molecular formula is $C_{4} H_{10}$ and the structural formula is

5) The name of the alkane for $n = 5$ is pentane, the molecular formula is $C_{5} H_{12}$ and the structural formula is
