Question

The general formula of two specific group of saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbon is

CnH2n. Write the structure of the member of each group when n = 4​

Answer 1

Cn H2n = Alkene

Explanation:

When n=3

Alkanes (Cn H2n+2) = C3H8 ( Propane)

Alkenes (CnH2n)= C3H6 (Propene)

Alkynes (CnH2n-2) = C3H4 (Propyne)

Answer 2

Answer:

C_4H_8

Explanation:

H3C-CH= CH-CH3 this is called 2- butene

H32C=CH-CH2-CH3 this is called 1- butene
