Alkenes and alkynes Question Bank
Question 1
Describe the difference between an alkene and an alkyne molecule.
Solution:
An alkene is a hydrocarbon molecule that contains at least one carbon-
carbon double bond, while an alkyne is a hydrocarbon molecule that contains
at least one carbon-carbon triple bond.
Alkenes have the general formula CnH2n, where nrepresents the number of
carbon atoms. Alkenes can undergo addition reactions due to the presence of
the double bond.
Alkynes have the general formula CnH2n−2and contain at least one carbon-
carbon triple bond. Alkynes can also undergo addition reactions, similar to
alkenes, but due to the presence of the triple bond, they tend to be more reactive
than alkenes.Question 1:
