The common type of alkane made with three bonded carbon atoms is propane.

Here's why:

* Alkane: Alkanes are hydrocarbons (molecules made of only hydrogen and carbon) with single bonds between all carbon atoms.

* Three Carbon Atoms: The prefix "prop-" indicates three carbon atoms in a molecule's name.

* Formula: Propane's chemical formula is C3H8, which means it has three carbon atoms and eight hydrogen atoms.
