Consider the hydrocarbon below. 2 carbons are double-bonded to each other; the pair are single bonded to H above left, above right, below right, and below left. What is the name of this hydrocarbon?

Ethene.

Explanation:

To know the name of the compound given above, we must:

1. Determine the number of carbon present in the compound.

2. Determine whether a single, double or triple is present in the compound.

3. Combine the above to get the name.

Now, let us name compound given above. This is illustrated below:

1. The compound contains two (2) carbon atom.

2. The compound contains a double bond. Therefore, the compound is an alkene.

3. An alkene with two carbon atoms is called ethene.

Therefore, the name of the compound given in the question is called ethene.

each chemical family is represented as a group or column on the periodic table. based on chemical properties, there are 6 types of chemical families. group 1 represents alkali metals, group 2 represents alkaline earth metals, groups 3 to 12 represent transition metals, groups 13 to 16 represent non-metals and other metals, group 17 represents halogens and group 18 represents noble gases.
