Which of the following answer describes 1-pentyne?

O structure should have 5 carbon with double bond beginning on the 1st carbon atom
O structure should have 6 carbon with triple bond beginning on the 1st carbon atom
O structure should have 6 carbon with double bond beginning on the 1st carbon atom
O structure should have 5 carbon with triple bond beginning on the 1st carbon atom


Answer :

Answer:

The answer is that the structure should have 5 carbon with triple bond beginning on the 1st carbon atom.

Explanation:

The structure will have 5 carbons since the -pent prefix means 5 carbons.

The structure has a triple bond because the -yne suffix means that the structure is an alkyne. An alkyne is a hydrocarbon with triple covalent bonds.

Also, the position of the triple bond is known because the nomenclature of the alkyne states that the triple bond is on the 1st carbon.
