Question

The general formula of organic compounds A,B and c is CnH2n. Their boiling points are -162 degree Celsius -42.2 degree Celsius and -0.5 degree Celsius respectively. Based on this information answer the following:
a) which type of compounds A B and C are and why?
b) which of these has maximum number of carbon atom in the molecules and why?
C) write the name and structural formula for the second member of the series

Answer 1

Answer:

a) A, B and C belong to the group of alkenes.

b) I think compound A has maximum number of carbon atoms because it's boiling point is more as compared to B and C

c) Second member of series = Propene (C3H6)

Hope it helps!
