Which is the correct general formula for the alkanes?
|
|
CnH2n+2
|
|
|
CnH2n
|
|
|
CnH2n+1OH
|
|
|
CnH2n+1COOH

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -General formula of alkyne is CnH2n−2. As in case of alkene, minimum two carbon atoms are required to form alkyne.
Detailed explanation-2: -CnH2n+2 is the standard formula for alkanes. These are called saturated hydrocarbons. It means all carbon atoms are bonded to the maximum amount of hydrogen atoms possible, i.e. saturated with hydrogen.
Detailed explanation-3: -Alkanes have the general formula of CnH2n+2 where n is the number of carbon atoms.
