User: WHAT ARE ALKANES?

Weegy: Incomplete combustion means burning in a lack of air (not enough oxygen). If there is not enough oxygen available for all the carbon to turn into carbon dioxide (complete combustion), then some or all of the carbon turns to carbon monoxide. This [ [ happens with any hydrocarbon - we shall take methane as an example. Is there anything else I can assist you with today? ] ]
