What is the significance of the tetrahedral geometry in alkanes?

Tetrahedral geometry is only found in ionic compounds.

The tetrahedral shape is irrelevant to the stability of alkanes.

Tetrahedral geometry leads to higher boiling points in all organic compounds.

The tetrahedral geometry allows for stable molecular structures and influences the physical and chemical properties of alkanes.

Explain the difference between straight-chain and branched alkanes.

Both straight-chain and branched alkanes have the same structural formula.

Branched alkanes have a linear structure, while straight-chain alkanes have branches.

Straight-chain alkanes have a linear structure, while branched alkanes have one or more branches off the main chain.

Straight-chain alkanes are always more stable than branched alkanes.

What are the physical states of lower alkanes at room temperature?

Lower alkanes are all solids at room temperature.

Lower alkanes are all liquids at room temperature.

Lower alkanes are gases only when heated.

Lower alkanes are gases at room temperature, except for pentane and higher alkanes which are liquids or solids.
