26) In Kolbe electrolysis, the alkane is formed by union of two alkyl groups. The alkane formed
has, tow or more carbon atoms.

27) Decarboxylation with soda lime results in the formation of alkane with one carbon less
than the compounds.

28) In wurtz reaction unsymmerical alkane can not be obtained.

29) Melting point : Melting point of alkanes increases with increase in carbon content.
Alkanes with even number of C atoms have higher melting points than those with odd number
of C atoms. This property is called the alternation effect. This can be explained as below :
in n-alkane, due to sp3 hybridisation, C atoms are arranged in a zig-zig chain. so, n-alkanes
with even number of C atoms are more symmetrical than those containing odd number of C
atoms and, hence, can pack closely in the crystal lattice for example

As, trace A = 1
So, any two elements in main diagonal are 0 and one element is 1. Also, non-diagonal elements

D12 + D22 = Diagonal matrix
D1D2 = Diagonal matrix.

either a = d = b = c or a ≠ d, b ≠ d but ad = bc
