Hydrocarbons like alkanes, cycloalkanes, and alkenes all share similar physical properties.

They only contain non-polar bonds (London-dispersion intermolecular forces of attraction)
Insoluble in water
Soluble in nonpolar
Some slightly polar solvents
Nearly all alkanes have densities less than 1.0 g/mL and are therefore less dense than water
