The carbon of the carbon-carbon double bond is sp2hybridized. Take CH3CH=CHCH3 as an example: the C of the double bond is sp2 hybridized, cause the C has 3 bond pairs (2 single bonds+1 double bond).

The hybridization state of a carbon can be calculated by spn-1 ,where n is the no. of bond pair , and n is stand for a single bond or a double bond or a lone pair electrons.

Take CH2=NH as an example: both the N and the C is sp2 hybridized cause for the N, it has one single bond, one double bond and a pair of lone pair electrons.

What alkene has the formula c3h6?

Yes. It is called hexane because of the six carbon atoms per molecule.


What is the difference between Ethane and Ethylene?

Ethane is a saturated hydrocarbon with two carbon atoms and six hydrogen atoms, while ethylene is an unsaturated hydrocarbon with two carbon atoms and four hydrogen atoms, containing a double bond between the carbon atoms. Ethane is used as a fuel, while ethylene is a key chemical intermediate in the production of plastics.

Why alkene gives more soot than alkane?

Comparing ethane and ethene . there proportionally more hydrogens in ethane. Conversely there are proportionally more carbons in ethene. Ethane C:H:: 1:3 or 1/3 : 1 Ethene C:H :: 1:2 or 1/2 : 1 Since the fraction '1/2' > 1/3' then more carbon (soot).


Is turpentine an alkane or alkene?

Is 1-nonene an alkane alkene or an alcohol?

1-nonene is an alkene, as it contains a carbon-carbon double bond.


Is C5H10 alkane or alkene?

C5H10 can be both an alkane and an alkene. As an alkane, it would be pentane (C5H12), and as an alkene, it would be 1-pentene (C5H10). The presence or absence of a double bond in the molecule determines if it is an alkane or an alkene.


Is it possible for an alkane to be an isomer of an alkene?

C4H8 - alkene or alkane?

C4H8 can refer to either an alkene or an alkane. In the case of an alkene, it would be 1-butene, while for an alkane, it would be 2-methylpropene. The distinction can be made based on the presence of a double bond in the alkene.
