Question
what is a characteristic of straight chained alkanes? they have one or more rings of carbon atoms. they have carbon atoms that are double - bonded to other carbon atoms. they have more than two carbons that are bonded to only one other carbon. they have carbons bonded in a single row from one end of the molecule to the other end of the molecule
Straight - chained alkanes have carbon atoms bonded in a linear, single - row fashion from one end of the molecule to the other. They have only single C - C bonds and do not have rings or double bonds. Also, in a straight - chain alkane, only the two terminal carbons are bonded to only one other carbon, not more than two non - terminal carbons bonded to only one other carbon.
