Question
Which of the following molecular formulas will correspond to an alkene with two double bonds?
Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
The general formula for an acyclic alkene with two double bonds (diene) is CnH2n-2. For n=6, the formula is C6H10. C4H10 and C5H12 are alkanes, and C8H16 is a monoalkene.
