Answer:
1. Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons with central carbon atom attached to four other atoms (or groups). This saturation leads to a relatively low reactivity of alkanes. Traditionally in old times, saturated hydrocarbons were known as paraffins meaning “little affinity”. However, these alkanes burn very rapidly.
2. Carbon atoms are unique because they can bond together to form very long, durable chains that can have branches or rings of various sizes and often contain thousands of carbon atoms.
