Question

Observe the table and answer the following questions. Alkane Methane Ethane Propane Butane Molecular CH 4 formula CH 2 6 CH 3 8 CH 4 10 a) What is the general formula of Alkanes? b) Write the moleular formula ofnext alkane comes after Butane. c) How many carbons in Pentane? d) How many bonds present in Methane?​

Answer 1

Answer:

i)General formula is CnH↓2n+2

ii)Pentane

iii)5

iv)CH4

Explanation:

Butane is 4. so pentane =5

Using formula of alkane, we get carbon in pentane = 5

bonds present in methane = 4 as hydogen = 4
