Alkanes
saturated hydrocarbons and contain only single bonds of between the carbon atoms in the chain and have the general molecular formula..
-
the simplest alkane contains one carbon atom and is called methane. the names of these series of hydrocarbons all end with '-ane'. the first part of the name will vary with the number of carbon atoms.

Alcohols
-
They all contain the functional group –OH, which is responsible for the properties of alcohols.
The names of alcohols end with ‘ol’, eg ethanol.
The first three alcohols in the homologous series are methanol, ethanol and propanol.
They are highly flammable, making them useful as fuels.
They are also used as solvents in marker pens, medicines, and cosmetics (such as deodorants and
