I. INTRODUCTION Hydrocarbons are compounds that contain only carbon and hydrogen atoms. Methane (CH4) and ethane (C2H6) are one of the major examples of hydrocarbons. They also belong to a subgroup of compounds called alkanes. ALKANES are hydrocarbons that do not have multiple bonds between carbon atoms, and we can indicate this in the family name and names for specific compounds by the –ane ending. Other hydrocarbons may contain double or triple bonds between their carbon atoms. ALKENES contain at least one carbon-carbon double bond, and this is indicated in the family name and names for sp...

Can you find anywhere a more eloquent parallel to the fundamental law governing that mysterious concept known as love? Love is related to thermodynamics, and not simply because things tend to heat up' when that mutual attraction we call love comes into play, but because love is a valid physical force, right up there with gravity and electromagnetism.
