contains exactly 3 carbons
contains exactly 5 carbons
contains exactly 7 carbons
has only single bonds
has a double bond
has a triple bond
is an alkyne
is an alkene
is an alkane

Answer 1

Answer: The correct statements are contains exactly 5 carbons, has a triple bond and is an alkyne.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pentyne is a hydrocarbon or organic molecule in which carbon and hydrogen are covalently bonded to each other.

The characteristics of pentyne are:

• It is an alkyne.
• It contains a triple bond between two carbon atoms.
• It contains exactly 5 carbon atoms.
• It contains exactly 8 hydrogen atoms.

Hence, the correct statements are contains exactly 5 carbons, has a triple bond and is an alkyne.

Answer 2

These are all appropriate statements concerning pentyne:
contains exactly 5 carbons (penta means five in Latin)
is an alkyne
has a triple bond (every alkyne does)
