Question
use the following information. Hydrocarbons are molecules composed of only carbon (C) and hydrogen (H) atoms. The simplest hydrocarbons are called alkanes. The first three alkanes are shown below.(TABLE NOT COPY)Write the chemical formula for the 7 th compound in the group.
Step 1
Since the number of carbon atoms corresponds to the position of the compound in the group, the 7th compound will have 7 carbon atoms. So, we write this as \(C_7\). Show more…
