Learn the names, condensed structural formulas, and molecular formulas of the first 20 straight-chain alkanes. Alkanes on the cards range from methane to eicosane. Using the flashcard maker you can customize the card content, card size, border style, border color, and paper size. The range of alkanes on the cards can be selected, so you only get the cards you need. After customizing you can download the cards as a printable PDF in A4 or US Letter formats.
