Solution

The molecular formula of an alkene follows the general formula CnH2n. This means that the number of hydrogen atoms in an alkene is double the number of carbon atoms.

Let's apply this rule to the given options:

  1. C10H20: This follows the general formula CnH2n (since 10*2 = 20), so it could represent an alkene.

  2. C6H14: This does not follow the general formula CnH2n (since 6*2 ≠ 14), so it cannot represent an alkene.

  3. C5H10: This follows the general formula CnH2n (since 5*2 = 10), so it could represent an alkene.

  4. C9H20: This does not follow the general formula CnH2n (since 9*2 ≠ 20), so it cannot represent an alkene.

So, the molecular formulas that could represent an alkene are C10H20 and C5H10.
