Asap ! explain why molecules of alkenes and alkynes must have at least two carbon atoms while alkanes may contain only one carbon atoms.

Explanation:

Alkenes and alkynes are unsaturated molecules, because they have, at least, two adjacent carbon atoms bonded together by either a doubler or a triple bond: - C = C -  or - C ≡ C -.

Hence, at least two carbon atoms are needed to form those double or triple bonds, while alkanes have only single bonds. The example of alkane with only one carbon atom is methane: CH₄, which is the most simple alkane.

The most simple alkene is CH₂ = CH₂, and the most simple alkyne is CH≡CH.

As you see, the very definition of alkenes and alkynes forces that those molecules must have at least two carbon atoms.

weight of any object is given by

w = m*g

where m is mass of the object and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

for earth the value of g is 9.8 m/s^2 so

w=117.6 n m=12 g=?

117.6=12g => g=9.8 m/s^2

which is the force of gravity on earth.
