How many double and triple bonds are present in the given parent carbon chain?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about the structure of a carbon chain to identify the number of double and triple bonds present within it. We will analyze the provided chemical structure to determine the correct classification of bonds.
Answer
One double bond and two triple bonds.
The parent carbon chain contains one double bond and two triple bonds.
Answer for screen readers
The parent carbon chain contains one double bond and two triple bonds.
More Information
In organic chemistry, the parent chain is chosen to maximize the number and types of multiple bonds. Here, the main chain includes one C=C and two C≡C bonds.
Tips
A common mistake is counting external double or triple bonds that aren't part of the longest continuous chain as part of the parent chain.
