Question

How many C-C bonds are there in Hexene? What is the structural formula for Hexene?

Answer 1

Hexene:

• Hexene contains 6 carbon atoms in a molecule.
• The suffix '-ene' means that a hydrocarbon molecule has at least one pair of double-bonded carbon atoms, -C=C-.
• Hence, Hexene contains one double bond -C=C-, and four single bonds -C-C-.
• Structural formula:- ${\mathrm{C}}_6{\mathrm{H}}_{12}$
