The easement in gross is the counterpart to the easement appurtenant. An easement in gross is owned by a person in his or her private capacity and not in his or her capacity as owner of any particular parcel of property. Essentially, any easement that is not an easement appurtenant is an easement in gross.
Chemical structure of methane, the simplest alkane. In organic chemistry, an alkane, or paraffin (a historical name that also has other meanings), is an acyclic saturated hydrocarbon. In other words, an alkane consists of hydrogen and carbon atoms arranged in a tree structure in which all the carbon-carbon bonds are single. Alkanes have the general chemical formula CnH2n+2.
Alkanes, Alkenes & Alkynes. Alkanes, alkenes and alkynes are simple hydrocarbon chains with no functional groups. Alkanes are identified because the carbon chain has only single bonds. Common alkanes include methane (natural gas), propane (heating and cooking fuel), butane (lighter fluid) and octane (automobile fuel). Alkenes have at least one double bond and alkynes have at least one triple bond. The most common alkyne is ethyne, better known as acetylene. The generic formula for alkanes is C n H 2n+2, where n is the number identified by the prefix. Alkenes have the formula C n H 2n and alkynes use the formula C n H 2n-2.
