What are the general formulas for alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes?

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The general formulas for alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes are to be defined.

Concept introduction:

The compound that consists of carbon atoms is considered an organic compound and the study of these carbon consisting compounds is known as organic chemistry.

A compound devoid of any carbon atoms is considered an inorganic compound and the study of these compounds is known as inorganic chemistry.

An organic compound is considered to be a hydrocarbon if it consists only carbon and hydrogen atoms. The atoms in hydrocarbon are linked by single, double, or triple bond.

Explanation of Solution

The hydrocarbon compounds can be classified according to their carbon–carbon bonds.

Hydrocarbon compound in which all the carbon atoms are bonded by single bonds, is known as alkane. The general formula for alkane can be represented as follows:

CnH2n+2

Here, n is the number of carbon atoms in the molecule.

Hydrocarbon compound in which at least one double bond is present is known as alkene
