Talk:-ane

Untitled
Shouldn't this just be merged with the organic nomenclature article? Or with the alkane one? I am new at Wikipedia, but I can't see this article becoming more than a stub.


 * I agree, I was about to rename this article Alkane when I realised that there is a comprehensive Alkane article already out there. I think this should be deleted or merged ASAP. --Tobes 06:45, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

As alkanes only refer to saturated hydrocarbons, while -ane can refer to other hydrogen based compounds such as oxidane, it shouldn't be merged with alkanes. However, it does need to be fixed up, mononuclear links to a type of white blood cells, not a chemistry concept indicating it only has either one type of nucleus/atom, or only has one nucleus/atom (other than hydrogen). The other issue is the link to hydride, where that starts off describing it as a negatively charged hydrogen atom which is not the case for -anes, at least not always. I will fix up that link, but not sure what mononuclear should link to.Black.jeff (talk) 21:30, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
