A. CnH2n+2
B. CnH2n
C. CnH2n-2
D. CnH2n+1OH
Check Answer
Show Solution
Correct: B
Alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons containing at least one carbon-carbon double bond. Their general molecular formula is CnH2n, where 'n' is the number of carbon atoms. CnH2n+2 is for alkanes, CnH2n-2 is for alkynes, and CnH2n+1OH is for alcohols.
