• Instead of drawing the bonds, just state how many hydrogens are attached

Environmental transformations
• When released in the environment, alkanes don't undergo rapid biodegradation, because they have no functional groups (like hydroxyl or carbonyl) that are needed by most organisms in order to metabolize the compound.
• However, some bacteria can metabolize some alkanes (especially those linear and short), by oxidizing the terminal carbon atom. The product is an alcohol, that could be next oxidized to an aldehyde, and finally to a carboxylic acid. The resulting fatty acid could be metabolized through the fatty acid degradation pathway.
Hazards
• Methane is explosive when mixed with air (1 – 8% CH4). Other lower alkanes can also form explosive mixtures with air. The lighter liquid alkanes are highly flammable, although this risk decreases with the length of the carbon chain. Pentane, hexane, heptane, and octane are classed as dangerous for the environment and harmful. The straight-chain isomer of hexane is a neurotoxin.
• Considerations for detection /risk control:– Methane is lighter than air (possibility of accumulation on roofs)
– Ethane is slightly Heavier than air (possibility of pooling at ground levels / pits)
– Propane is Heavier than air (possibility of pooling at ground levels / pits)
– Butane is Heavier than air (possibility of pooling at ground levels / pits)
Assignment
