Answer
### 1)
# Explanation:
## Step1: Recall the general formula of alkanes
The general formula for alkanes is \(C_nH_{2n + 2}\).
## Step2: Check each option
- For \(n = 2\) in \(C_nH_{2n+2}\), \(H\) atoms \(=2\times2 + 2=6\). So \(C_2H_2\) (\(n = 2\), \(H=2\)) and \(C_2H_4\) (\(n = 2\), \(H = 4\)) are not alkanes.
- For \(n=3\) in \(C_nH_{2n + 2}\), \(H\) atoms \(=2\times3+ 2=8\). \(C_3H_4\) (\(n = 3\), \(H = 4\)) is not an alkane, while \(C_3H_8\) (\(n=3\), \(H = 8\)) follows \(C_nH_{2n+2}\).
# Answer:
D. \(C_3H_8\)
### 2)
# Explanation:
## Step1: Define saturated hydrocarbons
Saturated hydrocarbons have only single - covalent bonds. Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons.
## Step2: Analyze bond types
- Double covalent bonds (\(C = C\)) are in alkenes (unsaturated).
- Triple covalent bonds (\(C\equiv C\)) are in alkynes (unsaturated).
- Ionic bonds are between metal and non - metal (not in hydrocarbons which are made of \(C\) and \(H\), both non - metals).
# Answer:
A. single covalent
### 3)
# Explanation:
## Step1: Count the number of carbon atoms
The longest carbon - chain has 5 carbon atoms (\(n = 5\), root name 'pent').
## Step2: Identify the functional group and its position
There is a double bond (\(C = C\), alkene). Numbering the carbon - chain from the end closer to the double bond, the double bond is between \(C - 2\) and \(C - 3\). The name of the compound is based on the position of the double bond.
# Answer:
A. 2 - pentene
