Solution

The molecular formula for alkenes follows the general formula CnH2n. This means that the number of hydrogen atoms in an alkene is double the number of carbon atoms.

  1. C5H10: This formula follows the general formula for alkenes (CnH2n), so it could represent an alkene.

  2. C10H20: This formula also follows the general formula for alkenes (CnH2n), so it could represent an alkene.

  3. C6H14: This formula does not follow the general formula for alkenes (CnH2n). It follows the formula for alkanes (CnH2n+2), so it cannot represent an alkene.

  4. C9H20: This formula does not follow the general formula for alkenes (CnH2n). It follows the formula for alkanes (CnH2n+2), so it cannot represent an alkene.

So, the molecular formulas that could represent an alkene are C5H10 and C10H20.
