Transition Metals can have more than one possible charge.
Answer:
They have fewer hydrogen atoms attached to the carbon chain than alkanes
Explanation:
Let's compare ethane (an alkane) with ethene (an alkene) and ethyne (an alkyne):
- Ethane's formula is C₂H₄, while ethene's is C₂H₄ and ethyne's C₂H₂.
As you can see, alkenes and alkynes have fewer hydrogen atoms attached to the carbon chain due to them having multiple bonds between the carbon atoms.
