question 17 (1 point)
name the following covalent compounds
c₃h₈

Explanation:

Covalent compounds are named using prefixes to indicate the number of each type of atom. The compound \(C_3H_8\) is a hydrocarbon. Hydrocarbons with single - bonds (alkanes) follow the naming convention where the prefix is based on the number of carbon atoms. For \(n = 3\) carbon atoms, the prefix is "prop - " and for alkanes, the suffix is "-ane".

Answer:

Propane
