Question

Alkanes are relatively unreactive or do not react with most of the reagents.

Answer 1

Answer:

Alkanes are generally unreactive. Alkanes contain only C–H and C–C bonds, which are relatively strong and difficult to break. The similar electronegativities of carbon and hydrogen give molecules which are non-polar.

Answer 2

Answer:

Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons also known as Paraffin and less reactive because not by reactant.

They have C-H sigma bond have high bond dissociation energy and non polar compounds
