Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Analyze the molecule in Question 3
The molecule contains a carbon-carbon triple bond.
Step 2: Determine the classification of the molecule
Hydrocarbons with a carbon-carbon triple bond are classified as alkynes.
Step 3: Determine the classification of sucrose in Question 4
Sucrose is a disaccharide, a carbohydrate composed of two monosaccharides (glucose and fructose) linked together.
