Write the $IUPAC$ name and molecular formula for the alkane series containing $1$ to $10$ carbon atoms.
(N/A) The general formula for the alkane series is $C_nH_{2n+2}$,where $n$ represents the number of carbon atoms. Based on this,the series from $n=1$ to $n=10$ is as follows:
| $C$ atoms | Name | Formula |
|---|---|---|
| $1$ | Methane | $CH_4$ |
| $2$ | Ethane | $C_2H_6$ |
| $3$ | Propane | $C_3H_8$ |
| $4$ | Butane | $C_4H_{10}$ |
| $5$ | Pentane | $C_5H_{12}$ |
| $6$ | Hexane | $C_6H_{14}$ |
| $7$ | Heptane | $C_7H_{16}$ |
| $8$ | Octane | $C_8H_{18}$ |
| $9$ | Nonane | $C_9H_{20}$ |
| $10$ | Decane | $C_{10}H_{22}$ |
