Multiple Select QuestionSelect all that applyChoose all of the characteristics below that correctly describe an alkene.Multiple select question.The alkene bond angles are 120ο.The geometry of all carbon atoms is tetrahedral.They have the general molecular formula CnH2n.They have the general molecular formula CnH2n-2.
Solution
The correct characteristics that describe an alkene are:
- The geometry of all carbon atoms is tetrahedral.
- They have the general molecular formula CnH2n.
The alkene bond angles are not 120 degrees, they are approximately 109.5 degrees because of the tetrahedral geometry. The general molecular formula CnH2n-2 is for alkynes, not alkenes.
