what is the general formula for straight-chain hydrocarbons with n carbon atoms and m (multiple) double bonds?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Katarina [22]2 years ago
8 0

the formula:

C_{a} H_{2a+2-2x}

where

a - number of the carbon atoms

x - number of double bonds

We take as a example the hydrocarbon with 4 carbon atoms

x = 1 → C_{4} H_{2*4+2-2*1} → C_{4} H_{8}

x = 2 → C_{4} H_{2*4+2-2*2} → C_{4} H_{6}

x = 3 → C_{4} H_{2*4+2-2*3} → C_{4} H_{4}
