question 8 (1 point)
what is the general formula for alkenes?
a) ( c_nh_{2n} )
b) ( c_nh_{n - 2} )
c) ( c_nh_{2n + 2} )
d) ( c_nh_{2n - 2} )
e) ( c_nh_{n + 2} )

Explanation:

Alkenes are hydrocarbons with a carbon - carbon double bond. The general formula for alkenes is \(C_nH_{2n}\). For example, ethene (\(C_2H_4\)) where \(n = 2\), \(2n=4\).

Answer:

A. \(C_nH_{2n}\)
