Alkanes, Alkenes, and Alkynes- General molecular formula
Let's look at the members of the Alkane, Alkene, and Alkyne family and see what is their general molecular formula.
Khan Academy is a nonprofit organization with the mission of providing a free, world-class education for anyone, anywhere. We offer quizzes, questions, instructional videos, and articles on a range of academic subjects, including math, biology, chemistry, physics, history, economics, finance, grammar, preschool learning, and more. We provide teachers with tools and data so they can help their students develop the skills, habits, and mindsets for success in school and beyond. Khan Academy has been translated into dozens of languages, and 15 million people around the globe learn on Khan Academy every month. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, we would love your help!

Are these alkanes, alkenes, alkynes somehow similar to alkalines?(3 votes)
Nope. Alkalines are water-soluble bases. These are just hydrocarbons.(3 votes)
10:0012:13Why do we need to make only branched structures for alkenes and alkynes?(1 vote)- Because we are studying chain structures. The cyclic hydrocarbons are named as cycloalkanes, cycloalkenes, and cycloalkynes.
Hope it helps:)(1 vote)
