Which of the following statements describes alkenes and alkynes but not alkanes?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Deffense [45]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

B. they are unsaturated

Explanation:

Alkanes are long chain hydrocarbons with only single bonds, alkenes are hydrocarbons with at least one double bond and alkynes are hydrocarbons with at least one triple bond.

Alkanes, alkenes and alkynes are all hydrocarbons. Therefore statement D. is incorrect

Hydrocarbons are compounds containing carbon and hydrogen only

Neither of the three are aromatic compounds therefore statement A is incorrect

Saturated hydrocarbons are where all the bonds between atoms are single bonds. Unsaturated hydrocarbonds are when at least there's one double or triple bond.

Alkanes are saturated and Alkynes and alkenes are unsaturated.

therefore statement B is correct where alkenes and alkynes are unsaturated but alkanes are not

Suppose an object is moving through space in a straight line. What could cause the object to start moving in a circle?
MAVERICK [17]
It could pass by a large enough object that has enough gravity to pull the object into its orbit and the object would stay in orbit because it has centripetal force.

A radio station's channel, such as 100.7 FM or 92.3 FM, is actually it's frequency in megahertz, where 1 MHz=10^6Hz and 1 Hz=1s^
gayaneshka [121]

We can directly solve this problem using the wavelength formula which is:

wavelength = speed of light / frequency

We know from the given that 99.30 FM = 99.30 MHz, therefore:

wavelength = (2.99*10^8 m/s) / (99.30*10^6 Hz) <span>
<span>wavelength = 3.011 meters</span></span>
