58 The Table Shows The Displayed Formulae of Some Organic Compounds

The document displays the structural formulae of 6 organic compounds labeled A-F. These compounds are all hydrocarbons because they only contain carbon and hydrogen. Compounds B and E are described as unsaturated because they contain double or triple bonds between carbons. Compound A represents the first member of the alkane homologous series. Compounds C and D have the empirical formula CH2.
