Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The condensed formula of an alkane consists of the chemical symbols for the elements present in the molecule, with carbon atoms represented by the letter C and hydrogen atoms represented by the letter H. Each carbon atom is assumed to be bonded to the maximum number of hydrogen atoms possible, which is four in the case of an alkane. Choice E is the only one that follows this pattern and includes the correct number of carbon and hydrogen atoms for an alkane.
