PROPANE. Structurally it is 'CH3-CH2- CH3'.
NB
#1 The 'prop' moiety indicates that there are three(3) carbons.
#2 the 'ane' moiety indicates that it is an Alkane.

The functional groups are indicated by
Alkane ; -Ane ( Single bond between two adjacent carbons)
Alkene ; -Ene (Double bond between two adjacent carbons ).
Alkyne ; -Yne (Triple bond between two adjacent carbons. ).
e.g.
PropEne ; CH2=CH-CH3
PropYne ; HC///C-CH3
The indicated capital letter is critical in the correct naming of hydrocarbons.
1 carbon - methane 2 carbons - ethane 3 - propane 4 - butane 5 - pentane 6 - hexane 7 - heptane 8 - octane
The alkane with 100 hydrogen would be C49H100.The 100 hydrogen will have 49 carbons attached.The carbons on the ends would have 3 hydrogen each so the hydrogen left are 94 so the Carbon in the chain can only have 2 hydrogen each.Therefore the no of hydrogen in between will have 47 carbons and two carbons on the end. 47+2 =49 carbons.
C10H22 It is a chain of 7 carbons, with a branch on the 4th carbon, that branch is 3 carbons long.
3-methylhexane
There are 9 covalent bonds in propane. Propane is a three-carbon alkane molecule, with each carbon forming four covalent bonds (3 with other carbons, 1 with hydrogen).

The name of 3-heptene gives it away, for alkenes end in -ene. Heptene is a carbon chain of 7 carbons, and alkenes have a double bond between carbons at the noted carbon (3), so this double bond is between C3 and C4, and the chain is otherwise completely hydrogenated. You might write the structure as: CH3CH2CH=CHCH2CH2CH3
Four. A terminal carbon in an alkane is bonded to 3 hydrogens and 1 carbon, while a middle carbon is bonded to 2 hydrogens and 2 carbons.
3-methylhexane
Pyruvic acid is C3H4O3 and has 3 carbon atoms.
Yes but you have to draw it as a 3 carbon ring structure (like a triangle) and the 1st carbon would have a CH3 and an OH.
There are 9 covalent bonds in propane. Propane is a three-carbon alkane molecule, with each carbon forming four covalent bonds (3 with other carbons, 1 with hydrogen).
The general formula for an alkane is CnH2n+2, where n is the number of carbon atoms in the alkane molecule. Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons composed only of carbon and hydrogen atoms bonded together by single covalent bonds.
The first member of the alkene family, ethene, has two carbons: C2H4.
3-methyloctane is an alkane because it consists entirely of carbon-carbon single bonds. Alkanes are hydrocarbons made up of only single bonds.
