  • Hydrogen Atoms in a 4-Carbon Alkene with One Double Bond: A Detailed Explanation
    Here's how to determine the number of hydrogen atoms:

    1. General Alkane Formula:

    * An unbranched alkane with 4 carbons has the formula C₄H₁₀ (general formula: CₙH₂ₙ₊₂).

    2. Double Bond Adjustment:

    * A double bond replaces two hydrogen atoms. So, we subtract two hydrogens from the alkane formula: C₄H₁₀ - 2H = C₄H₈

    Answer: An unbranched alkene with one double bond and 4 carbon atoms has 8 hydrogen atoms.
