#C_10H_20#

Explanation:

First 6 alkene members - Dr.K

Alkene: number of C vs number of H - Dr. K

From the graph, we can see that:

number of Carbons = 2 times number of Hydrogens

Therefore, for alkene with 10 carbons, it will have 2 x 10 = 20 hydrogens.

Its chemical formula will be #C_10H_20#.
