Chemical Properties of Alkanes…

Chemical Properties of Alkanes are generally unreactive due to their non-polar nature and strong carbon-carbon and carbon-hydrogen bonds. Here are some of the main chemical properties of alkanes:
(i) Halogenation
(ii) Nitration
(iii) Sulphonation
(iv) Oxidation
(v) Isomerization
(vi) Aromatization
(vii) Pyrolysis.
