Answer:
Alkanes
Explanation:
Alkanes are hydrocarbons containing only C-H and C-C single bonds. They're saturated compounds and they form a homologous series with the general formula CₙH₂ₙ₊₂, where n is the number of carbon atoms. Example of members in this group are
Methane = CH₄
Ethane = C₂H₆
Propane = C₃H₈
All alakane compounds ends with with the suffix "-ane" and this differentiate them during naming from other compounds.
