Answer:

Cn H2n = Alkene

Explanation:

When n=3

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

Alkenes (CnH2n)= C3H6 (Propene)

Alkynes (CnH2n-2) = C3H4 (Propyne)

Saturated Hydrocarbon (CnH2n): When n = 3, the saturated hydrocarbon is called Propane and its molecular formula is C3H8. Propane is a straight-chain alkane with three carbon atoms and eight hydrogen atoms. It is a colorless, odorless, flammable gas used as fuel for heating, cooking, and vehicles.

Unsaturated Hydrocarbon (CnH2n): When n = 3, the unsaturated hydrocarbon is called Propene and its molecular formula is C3H6. Propene is a colorless gas with a slightly sweet odor.

It is an unsaturated hydrocarbon because it contains a carbon-carbon double bond. Propene is used as a starting material for the production of various chemicals, including polypropylene.
