Question

what do you mean by cracking of alkane?name two types of cracking ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Cracking is a reaction in which larger saturated hydrocarbon molecules are broken down into smaller, more useful hydrocarbon molecules, some of which are unsaturated: the original starting hydrocarbons are alkanes. the products of cracking include alkanes and alkenes, members of a different homologous series.

are unsaturated: the original starting hydrocarbons are alkanes. the products of cracking include alkanes and alkenes, members of a different homologous series.Cracking is primarily of two types – thermal cracking and catalytic cracking. Thermal cracking is further categorised into modern thermal cracking and steamcracking. On the other hand, sub-classifications of catalytic methods of cracking are hydrocracking and fluid catalytic cracking.
