Alkanes from Carbon and Hydrogen
•Alkanes are carbon compounds that contain only single bonds.
•The simplest alkanes are hydrocarbons – compounds that contain only carbon and hydrogen.
•Hydrocarbons are used mainly as fuels, solvents and lubricants:

differ in how substituents are arranged in space
