Which of the following statements is incorrect about alkanes?

Recognize the types of reactions alkanes typically undergo: Alkanes are known to undergo combustion reactions, where they react with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water, releasing energy in the form of heat and light.

Examine the nature of intermolecular forces in alkanes: Alkanes are nonpolar molecules and primarily exhibit van der Waals forces (London dispersion forces) between their molecules. They do not have the ability to form hydrogen bonds, as they lack the necessary electronegative atoms (such as oxygen or nitrogen) bonded to hydrogen.
