Structure and Bonding in Alkanes

Structure and Bonding in Alkanes

Sigma Bond and Tetrahedral Methane Structure

Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons, meaning they contain only carbon and hydrogen atoms connected by single covalent bonds. They form a homologous series with the general molecular formula CnH2n+2C_n H_{2n+2}Cn​H2n+2​.

Step-by-step lessons on OCR A A Level Chemistry Alkanes. Each one builds up to exam-style questions. Build confidence with atomic structure, bonding and moles calculations early on, since these underpin the more demanding organic mechanisms, equilibrium and practical-analysis topics that dominate Year 2.
