Alkenes are organic compounds which contains double bonds between two carbon atoms. The formula C2H4 can be classified as an alkene since it most likely contains a double bond between the carbon-carbon atoms. An alkene has the general formula of CnH2n.

The question is incomplete, here is a complete question.

Which formula represents an alkene?

(a) $CH_4$

(b) $C_2H_4$

(c) $C_2H_6$

(d) $C_2H_5OH$

Answer : The correct option is, (b) $C_2H_4$

Explanation :

Hydrocarbons are the type of organic compound that contains only hydrogen and the carbon atoms.

Saturated hydrocarbon : These are those hydrocarbons in which all carbon atoms and hydrogen atoms are bonded together with single bonds. The general formula of saturated hydrocarbon (alkane) is, $C_nH_{2n+2}$

For example : Methane, Ethane, etc.

Unsaturated hydrocarbon : These are those hydrocarbons in which carbon-carbon atom bonded together with double or triple covalent bonds.

The general formula of unsaturated double bond hydrocarbon (alkene) is, $C_nH_{2n}$

The general formula of unsaturated triple bond hydrocarbon (alkyne) is, $C_nH_{2n-2}$

For example : Ethene, Butyne, etc.

As per question,

(a) $CH_4$ : It is a saturated hydrocarbon and the name of this hydrocarbon is methane.

(b) $C_2H_4$ : It is an unsaturated hydrocarbon and the name of this hydrocarbon is ethene.

(c) $C_2H_6$ : It is a saturated hydrocarbon and the name of this hydrocarbon is ethane.

(d) $C_2H_5OH$ : It is a saturated hydrocarbon and the name of this hydrocarbon is ethanol.

Hence, the formula represents an alkene is, $C_2H_4$

Which of the following statements describe what a normative system is?

natta225 [31]

Explanation:

though the statements were not given let just give you a brief review of normative system.

A normative statement explains what should be base of the subject according to the belief through valued judgement that describes the fairness of the subject on public policy. Therefore, the unemployment rate should be lowered is a valued judgement based on the belief that it will bring economic welfare.

Normative systems, i.e., sets of norms, have two main. tions: a) to evaluate human actions, and b) to guide peop. The guidance and the evaluation based on a normativ. be good or bad.In social psychology three different normative behaviours have been identified: obedience, conformity and compliance.In the context of a normative system like law (or religion or morality), every statement of what one ought to do (or ought not to do) requires justification from a more general or basic statement. Such statements lead upward through the normative hierarchy until one reaches a foundational normative premise.

Salt domes result when: 1. inland seas dry 2.the pressure of overlying rock forces the salt to rise 3. a layer of sedimentary sa

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

Salt domes result when <u><em>the pressure of overlying rock forces the salt to rise. (Option 2)</em></u>

Explanation:

In geology it is called the gently wavy and rounded relief dome.

Salt has some special properties like rock:

Salt has a lower specific gravity in relation to a common mineral.
Salts deform plastically and are very mobile.
Salts have a high water solubility.

These properties allow, if the pressure is very high, that the salt layers move upwards (due to their lower density). That is, the internal forces produce the elevation of the strata by means of the pressure they exert towards a higher point, generating that the salt looks for its way towards the surface [that is, the salt ascends through the sedimentary layers of the earth's crust, crossing them and deforming them] and causing the bulging structure. The oldest strata are located in the central area of the dome, while the most modern are distributed in the farthest radius. The structure is called salt or diapiro dome, the phenomenon by which it is formed is called diapirism.

Finally, you can say that <u><em>Salt domes result when the pressure of overlying rock forces the salt to rise.</em></u>
