Question

what is a characteristic of straight chained alkanes? they have one or more rings of carbon atoms. they have carbon atoms that are double - bonded to other carbon atoms. they have more than two carbons that are bonded to only one other carbon. they have carbons bonded in a single row from one end of the molecule to the other end of the molecule.

Explanation:

Straight - chained alkanes have carbon atoms bonded in a linear, single - row fashion from one end of the molecule to the other. They have only single C - C bonds and do not have rings or double bonds. The terminal carbons are bonded to only one other carbon, but not all carbons have this property in general alkanes.

Answer:

They have carbons bonded in a single row from one end of the molecule to the other end of the molecule.
