Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons with only single covalent bonds, making them generally unreactive except in combustion and substitution reactions. They are used as fuels and can undergo cracking to produce smaller alkanes and alkenes. Structural isomerism in alkanes includes chain, positional, and functional group isomerism, affecting their physical and chemical properties.
