Description : What are alkanes? Why are they called paraffins?
Last Answer : Ans. Those hydrocarbons which contain single bond between carbon- carbon are called alkanes. They are called paraffins because they are very less reactive (Latin- Parum= little, affins = affinity)
Description : Why are alkanes called paraffins?
Last Answer : Paraffin’s means little affinity; alkanes due to strong C-C and C-H bonds are relatively chemically inert.
