Which sequence correctly gives the general formulae of alkane, alkene, alkyne and alkyl group, respectively?

Verified Answer & Explanation⌄

Correct Answer: A) CₙH₂ₙ₊₂, CₙH₂ₙ, CₙH₂ₙ₋₂, CₙH₂ₙ₊₁

Concept Explanation

Open-chain alkanes, alkenes and alkynes follow CₙH₂ₙ₊₂, CₙH₂ₙ and CₙH₂ₙ₋₂, while removal of one H from an alkane gives an alkyl group, CₙH₂ₙ₊₁.
