How can you identify a hydrocarbon is alkane alkene or alkyne?

An alkene will have a double carbon-carbon bond and an alkyne will have a triple.


How many carbon-carbon double bonds are present in the molecule alkene?

It varies. An alkene is a homologous series that repeats itself. Like alkanes, the key feature of an alkene is the carbon-carbon bond. Alkane has a single bond, alkene has a double bond, and alkyne has a triple bond. So the answer is it depends on how many homologs are present.


What piece of information do you need to determine whether a molecule is an alkyne or an alkene?

An alkyne contains a carbon-carbon triple bond while an alkene contains a carbon-carbon double bond.


What is the term for unsaturated hydrocarbon with at least one double carbon-carbon bond?

What kind of hybrid orbitals will carbon form?

s sp1 sp2 sp3 These are the hybridized orbitals that carbon will form.


What is the ratio between pure and hybrid orbitals in butane?

What a bizarre question! The pure orbitals are on the hydrogen atom and the carbon 1s orbitals. Butane is C4H10- so 14 "pure orbitals". The carbon atoms all have four sp3 hybids- so 16 hybrid orbitals. Ration is 14:16.


What happens when a reaction take place between an alkene and alkane?

If alkene is straight chain and alkane has one tertiary carbon atom then alkylation of alkene takes place and a substituted alkane is produced.
