The correct Answer is:
To find the general formula for alkenes, we will analyze the given information step by step. ### Step 1: Identify the compound A The problem states that compound A has the molecular formula \( C_2H_4 \). This formula indicates that it is an alkene. ### Step 2: Determine the general formula for alkenes The general formula for alkenes is given by \( C_nH_{2n} \), where \( n \) is the number of carbon atoms. In the case of compound A, we have: - \( n = 2 \) (since there are 2 carbon atoms in \( C_2H_4 \)) Substituting \( n \) into the general formula: \[ C_nH_{2n} = C_2H_{2 \times 2} = C_2H_4 \] This confirms that \( C_2H_4 \) is indeed an alkene. ### Step 3: Conclusion Thus, the general formula for alkenes is \( C_nH_{2n} \).
