Question

.Which best describes the structure of 2-butene?

A. a four-carbon hydrocarbon with a double bond between the second and third carbon atoms

B. a four-carbon hydrocarbon with a branching point at the second carbon atom in the chain

C. a four-carbon hydrocarbon with a double bond between the first and second carbon atoms​

Answer 1

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 2 - butene is an alkene with the formula C4H8, which can be used as the polybutene monomer or co-polymer. It is a compressed liquefied gas colorless, highly flammable characteristic odor. Prolonged exposure to this gas can cause frostbite causing a lowering of consciousness. Its formula is C4H8 and it is made up of 4 carbon atoms.

The best structure that describes 2-butene is that of Option A.
