ethane -
ethene =
ethyne- triple bond

Quick expo:
For you to easily memorize the formulas for alkanoic acid, alkanol etc, just know the functional group.
i mean, alkanoic acid is COOH
alkanol is OH

just know that apart from alkane, alkene and alkyne, all the other formulas for other functional group is CnH2n+1 (+Functional group)

eg
alkanoic acid with the general formula
CnH2n+1COOH
alkanol with the general formula of
CnH2n+1OH



i hope this helps...βœ¨πŸ’œ

The answer is D because the first one has two carbon and that O2 there Is is oo that is,
combine it with c, it will become Coo that is ethanoate so that ethanoate with methyl CH3 it will now be Methyl ethanoate, secondly The second one has triple bond with two carbon so instead of calling ethene, we call it ethyne due to the triple bond, so the answer should be D
