Alkane
In organic
chemistry, an alkane, or paraffin means
little affinity) para mean little affin mean affinity is an acyclic
saturated hydrocarbon.
an alkane consists of hydrogen
and carbon atoms
arranged in a tree
structure in which all the carbon–carbon
bonds are single.
Formula
Alkanes have the general chemical form is CnH2n+2.
In an alkane, each carbon atom is sp3-hybridized with 4 sigma bonds
(either C–C or C–H),
and each hydrogen atom is joined to one of the carbon atoms (in a C–H bond) CH4 .

Q: How I make methane from alkane ?
Ans:
General formula of alkane is CnH2n+2.
Put the value of carbon, in methane Carbon is 1
So n = 1
