Question

Answer 3 & 4

Which of the following answer describes 2-hexene? *


O structure should have 5 carbon with double bond beginning on the 2nd carbon atom
O structure should have 6 carbon with triple bond beginning on the 2nd carbon atom
O structure should have 6 carbon with double bond beginning on the 2nd carbon atom
O structure should have 5 carbon with triple bond beginning on the 2nd carbon atom

Answer 1

The answer for 2-hexene is that the structure should have 6 carbon with a double bond beginning on the 2nd carbon atom.

The answer for 1-pentyne is that the structure should have 5 carbon with triple bond beginning on the 1st carbon atom.

Explanation:

2-Hexene

The structural formula for 2-hexene will have 6 carbons because the nomenclature has a -hex prefix, which stands for 6 carbons.

The -ene suffix of the nomenclature means that the organic compound is an alkene. Alkenes are hydrocarbons that contain double covalent bond and have the suffix -ene.

The double bond is on the 2 carbon atom because the nomenclature states that the double bond will be on the 2 carbon atom.

1-Pentyne

The structure will have 5 carbons since the -pent prefix means 5 carbons.

The structure has a triple bond because the -yne suffix means that the structure is an alkyne. An alkyne is a hydrocarbon with triple covalent bonds.

Also, the position of the triple bond is known because the nomenclature of the alkyne states that the triple bond is on the 1st carbon.
