Which of the following is an unsaturated hydrocarbon?
A. Butene
B. Ethane
C. Heptane
D. Hexane
E. Methane
Answer (2)
The only unsaturated hydrocarbon among the options is Butene, which contains a double bond. Other options like Ethane, Heptane, Hexane, and Methane are all saturated hydrocarbons with only single bonds. Unsaturated hydrocarbons are characterized by having at least one double or triple bond in their structure. ;
The unsaturated hydrocarbon among the options is Butene (option A), as it contains a double bond. The other options—Ethane, Heptane, Hexane, and Methane—are all saturated hydrocarbons with only single bonds. Unsaturated hydrocarbons have different chemical properties and higher reactivity due to the presence of double or triple bonds.
