Answer: The number of hydrogen atoms in alkyne having 5 carbon atoms are 8.
Explanation:
Alkynes are a group of hydrocarbons which contain triple bond between carbon and carbon atoms and single bonds between hydrogen and carbon atoms.
The general formula for this group of hydrocarbons is [tex]C_nH_{2n-2}[/tex] where n = 1, 2, 3, 4 ...
For the compound having 5 carbon atoms, the number of hydrogen atoms will be [tex]C_5H_{((2\times 5)-2)}=C_5H_8[/tex]
Hence, the number of hydrogen atoms in alkyne having 5 carbon atoms are 8.
