Alkanes: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 16:23, 7 November 2023

Hydrocarbon species (also known as paraffins) with general formula C_nH_{2n + 2} where n is an integer.
Alkanes contain only saturated bonds and are relatively unreactive in the atmosphere, where they react by hydrogen abstraction to form alkyl radicals. Major sources include natural gas emissions, biomass burning, evaporative emissions, and fuel combustion.
