a) A combound which contains only Carbon and Hydrogen. There are covalent bonds between atoms. Hydrogen form one single bond and Carbon forms four covalent bonds. Carbon bonds can be single, double or triple bonds.

All hydrocarbons are organic compounds, but organic compound can include atoms of other elements.

b) Alkyne has a covalent triple bond between two carbon atoms. Simplest alkyne is ethyne HCCH.

b) Alkane contains only Carbon and Hydrogen and there are single bonds

between atoms. Simplest alkane is methane CH4.

c) An alkene has one double bond between Carbon atoms. Simplest

alkene is ethene H2C=CH2.

A renewable energy source that relies on falling from a height levels to produce electricity is

DochEvi [55]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Hydroelectric power

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

Hydroelectric power is produced when a turbine converts the kinetic energy of falling water into mechanical energy. Then a generator converts the mechanical energy from the turbine into electrical energy.
Hydroelectric power plants uses a dam on a river to store water in a reservoir. Water released from the reservoir flows through a turbine, spinning it, which in turn activates a generator to produce electricity.
