Question

Write the molecule formula and IUPAC name of 2nd homologue of alkyne series.

Answer 1

IUPAC stands for International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry. A homologous series is a set of compounds that share the same functional group and have similar chemical properties.

All alkynes follow a general chemical formula CnH2n-2. The IUPAC name of the second homologue of the alkyne series is Propyne. The value to be substituted for “n” in the chemical formula for propyne is 3. So, the molecular formula is C3H4 that is also represented as CH3CCH.
