Answer:
They are very rective due to the C-H bond. As the electronegativities are very smilar, the electrons are shared equally, which makes it non polar, threfore there is no charge to attract other species.
As they are non polar they do not mix with water.
The bigger the molecule the the higher the melting and boiling points, due to
increasing van der waals forces. Strength of the intermolecular forces also increases.
they are the satuarated nd contain c-c bond.
fun fun fun! Chem is currently my life....how fun!
