Answer 2

There exist single bonds between carbon atoms of alkanes. It is a true statement.

• The compounds formed by carbon and hydrogen are called hydrocarbons. It is of three types depending on the number of bonds between the carbon atoms.
• Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons and have a single bond between the carbon atoms and their general formula is CₙH₂ₙ₊₂
• It is because they have sp3 hybrid orbitals and forms four bonds. It links to another carbon atom by a single bond and forms three single bonds with three hydrogen atoms.
• While alkenes and alkynes have two and three bonds respectively between the carbon atoms.
