These agencies, whose missions involve numerous information collections, have devoted significant resources to targeted burden reduction efforts that involve extensive outreach to stakeholders. According to the two agencies, these efforts have led to significant reductions in paperwork burden on the public.
Alkanes are the simplest organic molecules, consisting of only carbon and hydrogen and with only single bonds between carbon atoms. Alkanes are used as the basis for naming the majority of organic compounds (their nomenclature).Alkanes have the general formula C n H 2n+2.lkanes are the simplest organic molecules, consisting of only carbon and hydrogen and with only single bonds between carbon atoms.

Alkanes. Hydrocarbons which contain only single bonds are called alkanes. They are called saturated hydrocarbons because there is a hydrogen in every possible location. This gives them a general formula C n H 2n+2.The first four alkanes are methane, ethane, propane, and butane with the Lewis symbols shown below.Past this number of carbons, the-ane suffix is retained and the number prefixes penta-, hexa-, hept-, oct-, non-, dec-, etc are used.his gives them a general formula C n H 2n+2.
