Answer 1

Answer:

i) ethane

ii)propane

iii) alkynes

iv) hexane

Answer 2

Answer:

1. Ethane
2. Propene
3. Butyne
4. Pentane

Explanation:

From the structural formula, the molecular formulae of the compounds are as follows:
1)C₂H₆

2)C₃H₆

3)C₄H₆

4)C₅H₁₂

The above molecular structure corresponds to the names Ethane, Propene , Butyne and Pentane respectively.

Ethane and Pentane are alkanes with only single bonds.

Propene is an alkene with double bonds.

Butyne is an alkyne with triple bonds.
