Properties of Alkanes, Alkenes and Alkynes

What type of bond is found in alkanes?

• Quadruple bond

• Single bond

• Double bond

• Triple bond

Which of the following is a characteristic of alkynes?

• Moderate reactivity

• No reactivity

• Low reactivity

• High reactivity

What is the chemical formula for alkenes?

• CnH2n

• CnH2n-2

• CnH2n+1

• CnH2n+2

Which of these is an example of an alkane?

• Plastics

• Natural Gas

• Acetylene

• Some Rubber

What is the state of alkenes at room temperature?

• Solid

• Gas or Liquid

• Plasma

• Bose-Einstein Condensate

• How does the difference in bonding (single, double, and triple) between alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes affect their physical and chemical properties, such as boiling points and reactivity?

• Hint : Think about how double and triple bonds affect molecular strength and energy. Which molecules are more reactive: those with single bonds or multiple bonds? Consider how this impacts their boiling points and chemical behavior (like undergoing combustion or addition reactions).
