Question

Alkynes like Alkanes and alkenes, are hydrocarbons. Alkynes have carbon- carbon triple covalent bonds. Draw the structure of the Alkynes that has the chemical formula C3H4. Can you guess the name of this compound? Explain why there aren’t any compounds that have carbon to carbon triple bond

Answer 1

C₃H₄ ⇒ Propyne

Step-by-step explanation:

ALKYNE:

Alkynes are unsaturated hydrocarbon, with a general formula CₙH₂ₙ₋₂.

The Structure of the Alkyne with chemical formula c₃H₄ is shown on the attachment below.

The name of the compound is Propyne.

There aren't compound that have carbon to carbon triple bond because, alkynes which are the only compounds with triple bond do not have sterioisomers, because the triple bond is sp hybridized. sp hybridization is linear, the molecule of akynes are positioned in a straight line.

thereby making sterioisomers impossible.

Sterioisomers: Two molecules are described as sterioisomers if they have the same atom connected in the same pattern, but the atom are positioned differently in space. E.g, Trans and Cis.

Answer 2

Answer: Name of the given organic compound
`C_3H_4` is propyne.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alkynes are the unsaturated hydrocarbons in which triple bond between the two carbon atom is present. They have general formula of
`C_nH_(2n-2)`.

Alkenes are the are the unsaturated hydrocarbons in which double bond between the two carbon atom is present. They have general formula of
`C_nH_(2n)`.

Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons in which single bond between the two carbon atoms is present. They have general formula of
`C_nH_(2n+2)`.

The structure of the
`C_3H_4` has three carbon atoms so the preffix used will 'propa-' with suffix 'yne' in the end. So, the name of the compound will be propyne.

Yes, compounds that have carbon to carbon triple bond exists.
