In saturated alkanes, only van der Waals forces are important as attractive forces. In general, alkanes show a relatively low reactivity. ... Lower alkanes in particular are highly flammable and form explosive mixtures (methane, benzene) with air (oxygen). Solubility of alkanes in water is very low.
