Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
A hydrocarbon with just one covalent bond is known as an alkane. Because the carbon atoms in these alkanes are joined to a single continuous chain outside the branches, they are known as straight-chain allies. Each alkane has a prefix in its name that indicates the number of carbon atoms and the end-ane. The molecular formula is CnH2n+2, where n is the chain's number of carbon atoms. For example methane, ethane, octane, etc.
