Question

structural formula of hexyne

Answer 1

Hey there !

The given Compound Hexyne is an alkyne as it ends with the sound 'kyne'.

We know that Alkynes have the structural formula : $C_nH_{2n - 2}$

So Hex refers to 6. So In the above case 'n' = 6

So Structural Formula would be: $C_6H_{2 ( 6) - 2 }$

=> Structural Formula = $C_6H_{12 - 2 }$

=> Structural Formula = $C_6H_{10}$

Hope my answer helped !
