Answer:

CH

Step-by-step explanation:

Molecular formula of propene : C₃H₆

Take the HCF of carbon and hydrogen atoms :

  • 3 = 3
  • 6 = 2 x 3

Then, we can write the formula as :

  • 3CH
  • This means there are 3 moles present

Empirical Formula :

  • Molecular Formula / No. of moles
  • C₃H₆ / 3
  • CH

The empirical formula of propene is CH
