Question

Which of the following compounds can have a double bond?
$C_{4} H_{10}; C_{5} H_{8}; C_{5} H_{10}$

Open in App

Solution

$C_{5} H_{10}$ can have a double bond because it satisfies the general formula for alkenes i.e., $C_{n} H_{2 n}$ . Here, there are 5 carbon atoms; hence, n is 5. Substituting n in the formula $C_{n} H_{2 n}$ , we get, $C_{n} H_{2 n} = C_{5} H_{5 \times 2} = C_{5} H_{10}$
