Describe how the boiling points of the alkanes change as the number of carbon atoms in each molecule changes.
Name the alkane with the lowest melting point.
Deduce the physical state of butane at $-50^\circ\text{C}$. Explain why.
Complete the dot-and-cross diagram so that it shows the electron arrangement in a methane molecule. Show only outer shell electrons.
Complete the word equation for methane’s complete combustion. methane + oxygen → [BLANK] + [BLANK]
Methane and ethane are [BLANK] that are members of the same homologous series. Compounds in the alkane homologous series show similar [BLANK] properties because they contain the same [BLANK] group.
Match the fractions on the left to the uses on the right. The first match has already been completed for you.
