Q

What is the chemical formula of Alkynes?

✓ Answer: C CnH2n-2
Alkynes are hydrocarbons with at least one carbon-to-carbon triple bond. The general chemical formula for alkynes is CnH2n-2. This formula reflects the structure, where each triple bond reduces the number of hydrogen atoms by two. For example, propyne (C3H4) follows this formula. Alkenes and alkanes, in contrast, have the formulas CnH2n and CnH2n+2, respectively.
