Which of the following is INCORRECT about the molecular formula of hydrocarbon?
|
|
It does not give information on the structure of the molecule.
|
|
|
It can be true of multiple structures.
|
|
|
It is the simplest ratio of atoms present in the molecule.
|
|
|
It only includes carbon and hydrogen atoms.

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The chemical formula of the simplest hydrocarbon is methane(CH4).
Detailed explanation-2: -A hydrogen:carbon monoxide ratio of approximately 2:1 is required for hydrocarbon production.
Detailed explanation-3: -Alkanes are also saturated hydrocarbons. Alkanes are the simplest and least reactive hydrocarbon species containing only carbons and hydrogens.
Detailed explanation-4: -Empirical formulas show the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in a compound, molecular formulas show the number of each type of atom in a molecule, and structural formulas show how the atoms in a molecule are bonded to each other.
