Alkanes are a class of hydrocarbons - organic compounds composed only of carbon (C) and hydrogen (H) atoms. The general formula of an alkane is CnH2n+2. In reality, alkanes have a backbone of carbon atoms with hydrogen atoms attached to fill the carbon's four bonds.
In this game, we simplify alkanes to just their carbon backbone. Each 'C' represents a carbon atom in the alkane chain.
The first 10 alkanes are:
