-ane
In organic chemistry, the suffix -ane forms the names of organic compounds where the Page Module:Chem2/styles.css has no content.−C−C− group (a carbon-carbon single bond) has been attributed the highest priority according to the rules of organic nomenclature. Such organic compounds are called alkanes. They are saturated hydrocarbons.
The names of the saturated hydrides of non-metals end with the suffix -ane: the hydrides of silicon are called silanes (Page Module:Chem2/styles.css has no content.SiH4); the hydrides of boron are boranes (Page Module:Chem2/styles.css has no content.B2H6).
The final "-e" is dropped before a suffix that starts with a vowel, e.g. "propanol".[1]
Alternatively, "-ane" may be used for a mononuclear hydride of an element. For instance, methane for Page Module:Chem2/styles.css has no content.CH4 and oxidane for Page Module:Chem2/styles.css has no content.H2O (water). [2] For the etymology, see Alkane.
