Thus,butane is the four-carbon alkane, heptane is the seven-carbon alkane, and so on. The names of the firstten alkanes, given in Table 1, should be memorized. Larger alkanes, such as icosane (C20H42), havemore complicated names and are outside the scope of this one hydrogen atom is removed from an alkane, the remaining part of the molecule is called an alkylgroup.
