enable n be the form of carbon (c) atoms Alkanes: No. of H is 2n+2 --> usual formula for alkanes: CnH(2n+2) occasion: you recognize that pentane is a 5 carbon compound. to that end, no. of H is 2x5+2 = 12. Pentane: C(5)H(12) Alkenes: No of H is 2n --> usual formula for alkenes: CnH(2n) occasion: you recognize that pentEne is a 5 carbon compound. to that end, no. of H is 2x5 = 10. Pentene: C(5)H(12)
