Question

The general formula of alkyne is:

• A. \( C_nH_{2n+2} \)
• B. \( C_nH_{2n} \)
• C. \( C_nH_{2n-2} \)
• D. \( C_nH_{2n-1} \)

Hint:

Alkynes follow the general formula \( C_nH_{2n-2} \) and have at least one triple bond.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Alkynes are hydrocarbons with at least one triple bond, and their general formula is \( C_nH_{2n-2} \). Thus, the correct answer is \( \mathbf{(C) C_nH_{2n-2}} \).
