What is the general formula that represents the compound #CH_3CH_2C CH#?

Answer 1

#"R"_1-"C"-="C"-"R"_2#, I suppose, since this is an alkyne, a hydrocarbon with a triple bond (and a pure alkyne has no double bond).

From the single #"H"# on the far right, the far-right carbon must be #sp#-hybridized. It has two #sigma# bonds, one with that right-hand #"H"# and one with the next to last carbon.

In terms of structure...

#"H"_3"C"-"CH"_2-"C"-="C"-"H"#

Could you explain the meaning of the compound's name, 1-butyne?
