In alkane the carbon is bonded by
Correct answer: C. Only single bond
- A. Double bond only
- B. Double and single bond
- C. Only single bond
- D. Triple bond
Explanation
Alkanes are hydrocarbons that are composed of only single bonds between carbon atoms. This is the correct option, as alkanes exclusively consist of single bonds, forming a chain or ring structure. The other options are incorrect because alkanes do not contain double or triple bonds. Double bonds are characteristic of alkenes, and triple bonds are characteristic of alkynes, not alkanes.

About Chemistry of Hydrocarbons
Hydrocarbons are studied through the structures and reactions of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and aromatic compounds. Coverage includes free radical substitution in alkanes, electrophilic addition to carbon-carbon multiple bonds, benzene substitution, aromatic stability and the difference between addition reactions of alkenes and substitution reactions of benzene.
