Identify the Following as either Alkanes, alkynes or alkenes

CH4:

C2H4:

C3H6:

C2H2:

C10H22:

The answer to your question is below

Explanation:

To solve this problem use the general formulas for Alkanes, Alkenes, and Alkynes.

Alkanes Cn H (2n + 2)

Alkenes Cn H (2n) "n" is the number of Carbons

Alkynes Cn H (2n - 2)

a) CH₄ C₁ H 2 (1) + 2 = C₁H₂ + ₂ = CH₄ Alkane

b) C₂H₄ C₂ H₂ (₂) Alkene

c) C₃H₆ C (₃) H₂ (₃) Alkene

d) C₂H₂ C₂ H₂ (₂) - 2 = C₂H₄ - ₂ = C₂H₂ Alkyne

e) C₁₀H₂₂ C₁₀ H₂ (₁₁) Alkene

1) CH4: alkane

2) C2H4: alkene

3) C3H6: alkene

4) C2H2: alkyne

5) C10H22: alkane
