Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is the correct structure for 1-hexene?
  • Step 1: Understand that '1-hexene' is a type of alkene, which means it has a double bond.
  • Step 2: Know that 'hex' means there are 6 carbon atoms in the chain.
  • Step 3: The '1' in '1-hexene' indicates that the double bond is between the first and second carbon atoms.
  • Step 4: Start writing the carbon chain: C1-C2-C3-C4-C5-C6.
  • Step 5: Add the double bond between the first and second carbon atoms: C1=C2-C3-C4-C5-C6.
  • Step 6: Fill in the hydrogen atoms: C1 has 2 H, C2 has 1 H (due to the double bond), C3 has 2 H, C4 has 2 H, C5 has 2 H, and C6 has 3 H.
  • Step 7: Write the complete structure: CH2=CH-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH3.
