i think kerosene is the commercial name
the chemical name is decane
the chemical name is decane

I'm thinking that Kerosene must be an alkane because it is saturated with no double bonds and it's formula is C10H22. However why does it end in "ene" not "ane" ? 
if that is true, then i have nth much to say. names are there for no reason. eg. haber process was named after the person who invented it because his last name was haber, which is kinda stupid.

Hmm that doesn't make sense because all alkanes are meant to end in suffix "ane" and all alkenes with the suffix "ene".....that's why I'm confused!
