Chapter 22, Problem 76A

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation- To draw the structure of alkadiene with molecular formula ${\text{C}}_3{\text{H}}_4$

Concept Introduction-

Alkadienes- It is a hydrocarbon straight chain in which two carbon-carbon double bonds are present.

Example: ${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}{\text{-CH=CH-CH=CH}}_{\text{2}}\text{2,4-pentadiene}$

Explanation of Solution

Hydrocarbon ${\text{C}}_3{\text{H}}_4$ , contains three carbon atoms and four hydrogen atoms. The structure of ${\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{=C=CH}}_{\text{2}}$ ( ${\text{C}}_3{\text{H}}_4$) is:
