The collision of the molecules between the hydrogen molecule or H2, and an iodine molecule or I2, provided there would be a sufficient energy is that the system would eventually undergo a chemical change wherein a new chemical compound would be formed from these two molecules.
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.
