Properties of Alkanes
Alkanes
• are nonpolar
• are less dense than water
• with 1-4 carbon atoms are gases
• with 5-8 carbon atoms are liquids at room temperature
• with 9-17 carbon atoms are liquids such as
kerosene, diesel, and jet fuel

3H6) is a safe,
effective, and fast acting anesthetic.
• Pyrethrins are cyclopropane
derivatives found in the
Properties of Alkanes
•
