Question #58b7f

Answer 1

Yes, you can `H` atoms, add, except...

Explanation:

H atoms can be added to all carbons except, `=C=`, which `C` has already bonded with `4 H` atoms, which means that, `H` can't be added again..

In Organic Chemistry, Carbon, C has the ability to bond with only 4 Hydrogen Atoms, `H..`

`"C = C - C = C - C = C = C - OH"` Where each `= or -` represent the hydrogen Carbon is bonded with..

Also...

For `"C = C"`.... Carbon, `C` has the ability to have only `2 H`, attached to it, since they already have `2 H` each..

Hope you understand!

Answer 2

No. See explanation.

Explanation:

Carbon can make 4 bonds. From those bonds we can see that (counting from left to right):

• first atom uses 2, so it can have 2 atoms of hydrogen,

• second, third, fourth and fifth use 3 (you count bonds both left and right from the atom), so you can add one hydrogen atom to each carbon,

• sixth atom uses four, so you cannot add anything here,

• last atom uses 3 bonds, so you can add one hydrogen atom here.

Finally the fomula would be:

`CH_2 = CH-CH=CH-CH=C=CH-OH`
