Alkanes are structurally the simplest type of hydrocarbon, consisting of only a single bond between carbon atoms. They are also denoted by the suffix -ane. Knowing this what do you think is the answer?

I dont know like i totally forgot everything on this section thats why i posted it on here to see if anyone knew it...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Cause i have NO idea...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright well honestly I think it's A. The general formula of an alkane is CnH2n+2, n is the number of carbons is used to determine the number of hydrogen atoms. Example n=5, so H=(2(5) +2)=12. An example of an alkane is methane. The -ane is definitely a suffix since it is added to the back of meth.
