Question

Why certain compounds are called hydrocarbons? Write the general formula for
homologous series of alkanes, alkenes and alkynes and also draw the structure
of the first member of each series. Write the name of the reaction that
converts alkenes into alkanes and also write a chemical equation to show the
necessary conditions for the reaction to occur.

Answer 1

Formula of alkane-CnH2n+2 alkene-CnH2n,. Alkyne-CnH2n-2 ,. Formula for first group of alkane-CH4, alkene-C2H4 ,alkyne-C2H2 Hydrogenation is the reaction in which alkene are converted into alkane with catalyst such as nickle,or palladium. Sorry! With this keypad I can't draw structure.
