The molecular formula of a compound gives the exact number of each different type of atom (i.e. type of element) ... For an alkane, for example, the general formula is C n H 2n+2. This means that if I ...

One of the most underappreciated uses of N-Heptane is in the field of precision manufacturing, particularly in electronics, ...

Alkanes are a primary component of fossil fuels and are also vital building blocks in the production of various chemicals and materials, such as plastics, solvents, and lubricants.

Gold is not as inert as was believed — it can promote molecular synthesis. A study uses scanning tunnelling microscopy to catch gold in the act as it guides the formation of one-dimensional ...

Scientists from China now make it possible through stereospecific on-surface transformation of alkane feedstocks to yield monodispersed all-trans conjugated polyenes, which is known as trans-PA ...

Long-chain n-alkane in lake sediments has been widely applied to reconstruct terrestrial paleoclimatic and paleohydrological changes, which is, however, few reported whether they are affected by ...
