Alkanes are generally unreactive under normal conditions. The strong C-H and C-C sigma bonds require significant energy to ...

The IUPAC naming system provides a logical and systematic approach to naming organic compounds. For branched alkanes, the ...

Alkane molecules are held together in the crystal state by purportedly weak homonuclear R–H···H–R dihydrogen interactions. In an apparent contradiction, the high melting points and vaporization ...

Water solubility and Henry’s law constant in alkanes found in crude oil have been calculated and set in an easy-to-use table. In addition, we have developed a new correlation for solubility of water ...
