**Sorry, c) was supposed to be butene.
So it should be a) correct?
Butyne has 6 H's
Butane has 10 H's
Butene has 8 H's
Cyclobutane has 8 H's
Yes, a is correct
Butane has 10 H's
Butene has 8 H's
Cyclobutane has 8 H's
Yes, a is correct
a) Butyne (CH3CH2CCH) 6H
b) Butane (CH3CH2CH2CH3) 10H
c) Butene (CH3CH2CHCH2) 8H
d) Cyclobutane (CH2CH2CH2CH2) 8H
so agreed a)
Note that there is a learning point here in that there is an equivalance between a ring (in cyclobutane) and a double bond. So we can talk in terms of 'double bond equivalents'.
b) Butane (CH3CH2CH2CH3) 10H
