Grace is studying organic chemistry and comes across the term "alkane". She learns that the "ane" ending in "alkane" indicates that the carbons are bonded with ________ bonds.

• single

• double

• triple

• quadruple

Answer explanation

In organic chemistry, the term 'alkane' indicates that the carbons are bonded with single bonds. This means that each carbon atom is connected to four other atoms, resulting in a straight or branched chain structure. The 'ane' ending in 'alkane' specifically refers to the type of bond between the carbon atoms. It is important to note that 'alkane' does not involve double, triple, or quadruple bonds between the carbons.
