Question

Alkanes having five to seventeen carbon atoms per molecule are?

Answer 1

carbohydrates?

Answer 2

solids
liquids
gases
semi solid wax

I think liquids? is that correct?

Answer 3

I'm going to guess semi-solid wax. Because the longer the hydrocarbon chain, makes it more viscous. This is due to the reason that the hydrocarbons free rotation property allows them to tangle amongst each other.

Answer 4

Alright! Thanks!

Answer 5

Wait! :I
If it's makes it viscous..then wouldn't it be Liquid? :/
