Answer:

a. Alkene

b. Alkyne

c. Alkane

d. Alkyne

Explanation:

Hydrocarbons can be:

  • Alkanes: all single bonds. Have the general formula CₙH₂ₙ₊₂.
  • Alkenes: have a double bond. Have the general formula CₙH₂ₙ.
  • Alkynes: have a triple bond. Have the formula CₙH₂ₙ₋₂.

a. C₈H₁₆

Alkene. n = 8 and 2n = 2.8 = 16,

​b. C₄H₆

Alkyne. n = 4 and 2n-2 = 2.4-2 = 6.

​c. C₇H₁₆

Alkane. n = 7 and 2n+2 = 2.7+2 = 16.

​d. C₂H₂

Alkyne. n = 2 and 2n-2 = 2.2-2 = 2.
