    Methane is the simplest hydrocarbon and contains only carbon and hydrogen. Alkanes contain only single covalent bonds between carbon atoms and each carbon is bonded to four hydrogens. Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons with the general formula CnH2n+2 that contain only single covalent carbon-carbon and carbon-hydrogen bonds, making them less reactive than unsaturated hydrocarbons and neutral compounds that do not react with indicators or bases at room temperature.
