1. General Formula for Cycloalkanes:
The general formula for cycloalkanes is CₙH₂ₙ, where 'n' is the number of carbon atoms.
2. Adjusting for the Double Bond:
A double bond reduces the number of hydrogen atoms by two.
3. Applying the Formula:
* We have 3 carbon atoms (n = 3).
* The general formula for cycloalkanes with 3 carbons would be C₃H₆.
* The double bond reduces this by two, leaving us with C₃H₄.
Therefore, there are 4 hydrogen atoms in a cycloalkene with one double bond and 3 carbon atoms.
