Light alkanes are relatively simple molecules made entirely of carbon and hydrogen, arranged in linear or branching ...

Organic peroxy radicals (RO2) and Criegee intermediates (CI, carbonyl oxides) are key reactive species in atmospheric ...

Deep-sea microbes consume alkanes, reducing oceanic and atmospheric pollution, and a new study reveals they utilize a unique metabolic pathway. This discovery challenges previous beliefs about ...

The rapid disappearance of the amber color of the bromine at room temperature is characteristic of reaction with alkenes. (colorless) (purple) (colorless) (brown ppt.) Reaction of an alkene with ...

This causes a smoky flame. Alkenes have a functional group C=C – the part of the molecule that takes part in reactions. Alkanes, in contrast, do not have a functional group and are less reactive ...
