Question 7 • CT-Chemistry B

What is a property of all alkanes?

Answer
A
They are highly reactive.
B
They are insoluble in water.
C
They have the same boiling point.
D
They have a tendency not to burn.

Explanation

Alkanes are nonpolar molecules, while water is polar, so alkanes do not dissolve in water. Their boiling points vary with molecular size, and they can burn, so the other choices are not properties of all alkanes.
