Question

Plz answer this question.....I know the answer for this question but I want to know the explanation plz plz plz I want to know the reason for the answer...plz explain properly.....and I also wanted to ask how can we know if a compound is double,triple,single bonded?????
And also how to find the alkene and alkane of a compund if the alkyne is given ...plz answer I need your help .... urgent....I will mark the answer as brainliest..

Answer 1

The compound $C_{3}H_{4}$ will have a triple bond.

Explanation:

A compound which consists of carbon and hydrogen atoms is known as a hydrocarbon.

Alkanes, alkenes and alkynes are all hydrocarbons.

• General chemical formula of an alkane is $C_{n}H_{2n+2}$. In an alkane molecule, all the atoms will be bonded through single bonds.

For example, $C_{3}H_{8}$ is propane.

• General chemical formula of an alkene is $C_{n}H_{2n}$. An alkene molecule will have atleast one double bond between two carbon atoms.

For example, $C_{2}H_{4}$ is ethene.

• General chemical formula of an alkyne is $C_{n}H_{2n-2}$. An alkyne will have atleast one triple bond between two carbon atoms.

For example, $C_{3}H_{4}$ is propyne.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options $C_{3}H_{4}$ will have a triple bond.
