Question

(a) Of the following which has single bond, double bonds and triple bonds
between C, C atoms? Alkynes, alkane, alkene
(b) Name their simplest compounds and write the molecular formula.

Answer 1

Explanation:

• Alkynes are unsaturated elements containing at least one triple bond C-C atomic structure. A few examples of alkynes are ethyne and acetylene.
• The molecular formula for Alkynes are $C_{n} H_{2 n-2}$
• Alkanes are saturated single bond covalent C-C atomic structures, few examples of alkane are methane, propane, ethane, etc.
• The molecular formula for Alkanes are $C_{n} H_{2 n+2}$
• Alkenes are an unsaturated double bond C-C atomic structure, with a compound containing at least one double bond carbon atom.
• The molecular formula for Alkenes are $C_{n} H_{2 n}$
• A few examples are ethene, propene, etc.
